SCI5343 - Weathering the Storm: Atmospheres and Environments

Credits: 3

Change is evident across time. What may appear stable at one level may not be static at a different layer. Using weather as the backdrop, this course explores static and dynamic equilibrium, considering how scale and proportion influence a resulting phenomenon such as a flash flood or mass migration. By understanding the influence of size on how or why something occurs, changes in the elements or components of a system can be adjusted to create different outcomes and possible solutions for sustainability. While using an integrated approach, this course spotlights content-rich components dedicated to biology, chemistry, and physics.
