An introduction to climate models and their application to studies of past, modern, and future climate. Students will learn fundamental modeling concepts, gain experience running several kinds of models, and read/evaluate recent modeling papers. A variety of models will be introduced, with emphasis on atmosphere-ocean General Circulation Models (GCMs) and "simple"(zero-dimensional) models. No previous modeling or programming experience is required.

EARTH106 . 1 Year, 6 Months Ago

A knowledgeable professor who cares about students' concerns. Adopts a "flipped classroom" approach - you watch lectures online and complete worksheets with your fellow classmates in class (supplemented by explanations). Lectures can be slightly dry if you are not interested. Has reasonable expectations and is a fairly nice grader overall.

EARTH106 . 3 Years Ago

Pretty heavy workload, but only your final exam and final paper were counted for a letter grade, so if everything else was done sufficiently you'd get 100% in those categories. Her lectures are a little dry and participation in zoom lectures seemed pointless, but overall fairly interesting material.

EARTH106 . 4 Years Ago

She is an incredibly boring professor and actually made me hate the material in the class. I have no idea what is going on and I feel I'm sailing through the class because she makes kids go to class with a participation handout and then listen to her boring lectures.

EARTH4 . 7 Months Ago

I usually bad at science but this class was pretty easy. The concepts are easy to grasp and for the midterm and final you can bring a page of handwritten notes. iClicker questions in every class but they are just for attendance and graded on right/wrong.
