EVSC 598 - Man’s Atmospheric Environment

This class explores long-term global climactic controls and short-term severe weather events such as hurricanes and tornadoes and treats them in terms of the physical laws governing the motions of the atmosphere and the energy driving the system. It includes discussions on climactic and atmospheric events that severely impact human behavior while exploring responses by early and modern humans to perturbations in the weather and climate. It will also examine the utilization of renewable energy residing in the sun, wind, and water; and advertent and inadvertent weather modification. An added emphasis is placed on the development of curriculum materials for the eventual use by the Earth Science teachers in the classroom. Fulfills Earth Sciences certification and professional development requirements. Restricted to teachers and teaching candidates.
