See CRICOS-registered alternativesHuman-induced climate change is arguably the most serious problem currently facing our planet. Detecting and attributing human-induced climate change requires an understanding of the mechanisms of natural climate variability as well as trends in climate. Earth's climate is a coupled system involving interactions between the atmosphere, ocean, land surface, biota, snow, and ice. Gaining an understanding of how our climate system works is an important first step to more confidently diagnosing and predicting the effects and impacts of human-induced climate change. In this subject, you will explore the complexities of Earth's climate system and the evidence of climate change. The subject is designed to provide you with comprehensive knowledge and skills in climate science through a combination of lectures, workshops, and practical assignments. During this subject, you will: Learn about the fundamental components and interactions within Earth's climate system. Understand the role of climate models in simulating past, present, and future climate conditions. Analyse patterns and trends in climate data over different regions and timescales. Study historical climate changes using proxy data and reconstructions. Evaluate the effects of climate change on physical, biological, and human systems. Develop skills in presenting scientific information graphically, quantitatively, qualitatively, and via oral presentations.
