Climate-Related Courses
Earth Ocean and Atmospheric sciences investigate how the Earth system works, why it is sensitive to climate change, and how it will respond.
Many EOAS courses incorporate aspects of how anthropogenic climate change is perturbing Earth systems. Here they are divided into four categories: The diagnostics of the problem, the impacts, the solutions, and the study of fundamentals of the climate system.

What is the problem?
This series of courses explores the fundamentals of climate sciences, the greenhouse effect, and how we can attribute change to human activities.
What is the impact of climate change on the Earth system?
This series of courses looks at a specific aspect of the climate system, and discusses the impact of climate change, to inform adaptation strategies.
What are we going to do about it?
This series of courses informs climate mitigation strategies.
Why is our climate the way it is in the first place?
This series of courses explores components of the climate system (ocean, atmosphere, biosphere, hydrology) and discusses how they function, but is not specifically dedicated to the study of climate change.
