ERTH 750 Earth’s Paleoclimate

This course explores our understanding and the record of paleoclimatic change in Earth's History. Students will examine the basic principles that govern climate and climatic change on Earth. They will analyze and discuss the tools used to reconstruct past climate (i.e., geochemical, sedimentological and numerical), and the role of past climate reconstruction as it relates to on-going anthropogenically driven climate change.
