Description

The Climate Science Minor provides the introduction to climate science needed to pursue climate-science-facing careers and make informed decisions as citizens on a changing planet. Climate science is math, physics, chemistry, biology, and computer science, applied together to understand how Earth's climate works, how it has changed in the past, and how it may change in the future. Whether a student is interested in policy making, sustainability, natural hazards, city planning, pollution, geoengineering, natural resources, energy, or conservation, a broad and accurate understanding of climate science is required.
