  • ATMS 5016: Select Topics Paleoclimate

    3.00 Credits
    Pennsylvania Western University

    A collaborative learning course in conjunction with the American Meteorological Society (AMS) designed to focus on principles of paleoclimatology & ice core analysis of observed environmental data and learning activities. Students learn about research initiatives from a variety of scholars and professionals employed in various sectors of the climate science enterprise. The course employs both face-to-face and online engagement to facilitate interdisciplinary and cross institutional networking opportunities and leverages the existing institutional connections between Cal U, AMS, Oregon State University, Dartmouth University (School of Ice), and the National Science Foundation (NSF). These connections allow professionals to engage students in the seminar format where engagement is maximized. Professional focus is from NSF-supported, university-level scientists. Learning modules developed in collaboration with the Ice Drilling program at Dartmouth University will be leveraged with students online and in-person. Students will be tasked with engaging each other as they navigate these course modules. Near the conclusion of the course, students are required to synthesize course materials and learning modules in a deliverable format for peers or other students at various learning capacities. Students then conduct their own peer-to-peer collaborations utilizing the learning tools presented in the course. The course relies on data and support of the American Meteorological Society.

  • ATMS 5021: Water in the Climate System

    3.00 Credits
    Pennsylvania Western University

    A collaborative learning course utilizing curricular materials from the American Meteorological Society (AMS) designed to focus on principles of water analysis of digitally delivered near real-time environmental data and learning activities. Water in the Earth System (WES) is modeled after the DataStreme Project, a highly successful program that trains teachers in the use of real-time geoscience data in the precollege classroom. The primary focus of WES is to investigate the flow of water and energy in the global water cycle from an Earth system science perspective. Through a unique paradigm, WES integrates and applies fundamental concepts of meteorology, oceanography, and hydrology in examining mass and energy transfer in the hydrologic cycle. A central theme of WES is society's response to and impact on the global water cycle. As with other Cal U-AMS DataStreme courses, WES instruction is delivered online, providing students with highly motivational experiences in a robust online platform as they access and interpret near-real time environmental data. The course relies on data and support of the American Meteorological Society.

  • ATMS 5022: Sustain in Changing Climate

    3.00 Credits
    Pennsylvania Western University

    The principle focus of the course elaborates on how the Earth system functions interacts amongst its subdomains, but also addresses how humans interact within these sub-systems and how those sub-systems impact humans. The course integrates the approach of Sustainability and explores how today's human societies can devise adaption and mitigation strategies in a rapidly changing climate. The concept of climate resilience is stressed with the challenges of ecosystem degradation and resource limitations. Sustainability is a multi-disciplinary field, requiring a broad understanding of Earth systems as well as human motivations. Sustainable practices and theories are introduced and are inclusive of but not limited to population dynamics, ecosystem science, global change, energy, water, environmental economics and policy, ethics, and cultural history. A rapidly changing climate necessitates the importance of identifying suitable Sustainable practices and their implications in both the natural and social sciences as well as the technical challenges and limitations available at present. The student should have been exposed to a background in the Earth sciences and/or other core science concepts (e.g., Biological Sciences, Physics/Chemistry). The course will present real-world examples and/or case studies allowing the students to be exposed to contemporary challenges in environmental management.

  • ATMS 5023: Env Hazards Changing Climate

    3.00 Credits
    Pennsylvania Western University

    This course focuses on weather- and climate-related natural hazards from physical science perspective but also explores their socioeconomic impact on human societies. The concept of climate resilience is elucidated by examples of climate adaptation and mitigation from the past, as well as proposed strategies for the future. Trends in frequency and intensity of hazard events are discussed within framework of socioeconomic conditions to explain how vulnerable groups are identified. Impact of how a social group's or individual's personal views, perceptions of environment, or risk averse attitudes will also be explored.
