Chemistry in Climate Change
CHEM-Z194-W01
Professor Lynn Koplitz
The goal of this course is for participants to become conversant with essential parts of the science behind the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize. The Prize was shared by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and Al Gore "for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change." Some chemistry background will be very helpful for this course, though essential concepts will be reviewed at the beginning of the course. Mathematics skills at the level of high school algebra and the ability to interpret graphs will be assumed.
