This course will introduce the scientific framework associated with the Earth’s environment system. Topics include Earth’s energy budget, structure and circulation of the atmosphere and oceans, hydrologic cycle, mass budget, cloud formation, precipitation, and surface runoff. Particular attention will be focused on the science of important environmental issues including climate change, ozone layer depletion, pollutant transport, impact of mercury, PCB and other contaminants, and land-use influence on precipitation run-off and flooding. Whenever possible, case studies of actual environmental problems will be used to highlight the importance of the scientific issues.
