EEPS 325: OCEANS, ATMOSPHERES & CLIMATE
Spring 2026 · Section 001 · CRN 22254
Earth’s climate system is characterized by complex interactions between the ocean, atmosphere, and land surfaces that are constantly evolving. This course will cover the physics and chemistry of the ocean and atmosphere to explore the mechanisms that control global and regional climate. Topics include: Earth’s energy balance, atmosphere and ocean circulation, and biogeochemical climate feedbacks. We will also explore records of past climate (historical and pre-historical) and projections of future climate. Students will engage in lab-based activities to understand fluid flow in the atmosphere and ocean and complete problem sets including programming assignments. Recommended Prerequisite(s): MATH 101 and MATH 102 and (PHYS 101 or PHYS 111 or PHYS 125 or PHYS 141)
