Earth and Environmental Sciences
Graduate Lecture
Tu 1:10-3:55PM
This course offers an exploration of the concepts, methods, and tools required to analyze climate-related problems and craft solutions for reducing vulnerability and building resilience to climate variability and change. Drawing on the framework of risk analysis, the course examines and integrates risk assessment, risk perception, risk communication, and risk management. The course explores several forms of climate governance, including market-based and policy responses, as well as the kinds of cultural and behavioral change that can be promoted by communication and education. Rather than focusing in a single discipline, the course spans both social and natural sciences. It also bridges a number of divides, including those between research and applications, between developed and developing countries, and between the temporal scales of climate variability and change.
