ESCI 392 - Introduction to Global Change

By 2050, there will be ten billion people on the planet and we are changing the global environment at a pace unknown to history. We will unravel some of the linkages between biophysical systems, ecological responses, and human activities. We will cover changes to the climate, but also take a step back to appreciate the incredible suite of simultaneous global changes taking place in biotic diversity, hydrologic and chemical cycles, and human assimilation of Earth’s energy.
