UNST 232 Global Environmental Change

Earth's atmosphere and climate controls habitats on Earth, and prevents our planet from looking like our airless, bombarded moon (center) or the hothouse of Venus or firigid desert of Mars.  Global climate has changed in the past and will certainly change in the future, with major implications for life on Earth.  Important questions that need to be addressed include how Earth's climate system works, what we can expect for future changes in climate, and what we should do, if anything, about it.  [All images by the instructor except center, courtesy of NASA.]
