GEO1120

Apply basic and applied knowledge through completion of a capstone education, research, or work experience

Apply measurement principles, numerical and statistical analysis methods, and a high-level structured programming language to investigate atmospheric processes and environmental problems

Be able to conceptually model the positive and negative feedbacks between interrelated components (e.g., cryosphere and atmosphere) using a systems approach

Be able to critically evaluate climate change reports in the media in terms of their scientific merit

Be able to explain the key features of and relationships between the major subsystems of the Earth: atmosphere, biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, cry-sphere

Be prepared for higher-level education or to embark on a career with skills adaptable to evolving opportunities in the workforce

Demonstrate how basic understanding of the atmosphere can be applied to diverse interdisciplinary applications

Demonstrate understanding of core concepts in the atmospheric sciences involving fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, radiative transfer, and air chemistry

Demonstrate understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities expected of scientists

Possess the ability to communicate in both written and oral forms with peer and lay audiences using scientific evidence

Understand the environment in terms of a dynamic, integrated system with different components

Understand the varying temporal and spatial dependencies of Earth system interactions
