ENV 102:GLOBAL CHANGE
SPRING 1999

Welcome to the Spring 1999 course in "Adventures in Science", Global Change. In this course, we will be looking at many ways that our planet is changing, including short term changes and those which take thousands --- even millions! --- of years to occur. We'll be looking at chemical and geological effects and changes; the importance of the roles of the atmosphere and oceans in our every day lives; and what we can and can't do to affect these changes.
You can get an idea of what we'll be doing by looking at this semester's Syllabus. If you want to see what all went on in this course last year, click here.
Policies and procedures for this course can be found by clicking here.
We'll be adding lecture notes, study questions and other information here as the term progresses. There's lots to do in this course, and we hope you will have a lot of fun along the way to learning a great deal about how this old Earth operates.
