"Geography of Global Change (GGC) is an all-encompassing (global) course designed to consider critically many aspects of environmental threat today, most especially climate change. The course begins with basic principles by which all topics need to be evaluated, including spatial and temporal scales, principles of “change”, and much more.  \n\nWe then proceed with distinct impacts spheres of the Earth, including the atmosphere, oceans, and land surfaces. Special attention will be applied to the oceans given the particular importance of this realm on our blue planet Earth.  \n\nTwo field trips will occur in the GGC course, including to Barcelona to discuss many aspects of urban global change, and to an on-campus research institute for environmental sciences, in a very unique and relatively new building installation.  \n\n\t\nBlock 1 Introduction to Global Change \n\nThe Earth as a System \n\nSpatial and temporal scales (e.g. human, geologic, and all in between) \n\nGlobal change vs. climate change, similarities and distinctions \n\n \n\nBlock 2 The Atmosphere \n\nDefining the structure and composition (baseline for change) \n\nGreenhouse gases\n\nIndustrial pollution\n\nBlock 3 The Oceans\n\nRole in global and climate change \n\nNon-climatic global changes (e.g. fisheries, pollution, exotic species invasions) \n\nSpecific global change issues (monsoons, ENSO, hurricanes, etc.). Concrete look at the 2017 and 2020 Atlantic hurricane events \n\n\nBlock 4 Terrestrial Impacts\n\nThe nature of land surfaces \n\nSpecific terrestrial-based concerns (e.g. biosphere) \n\nCauses for concern and likely futuristic developments \n\n" .
