GEOG 1001 - Our Changing Planet: Climate and Vegetation
Primary Instructor - Spring 2025
Understanding our fragile planet and the life it harbors requires understanding how the distribution of the sun's energy at the surface, the atmosphere and its circulation, and the distribution of ocean and lands shape patterns of temperature, precipitation and vegetation across the globe. Along with providing a foundation for understanding planet Earth, this course addresses the growing impacts of human systems on climate change and environmental quality. -
GEOG 1200 - Climate Change Geographies: Science, Impacts, and Action
Primary Instructor - Fall 2025
Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time, and this course introduces students to the fundamental concepts they need to understand the problems and contribute to solutions by integrating perspectives from physical, social, and spatial sciences. . Students will review the scientific evidence for climate change, its impacts on human and environmental systems, and approaches to climate solutions via technology, policy, and social movements. -
GEOG 3251 - Mountain Geosystems
Primary Instructor - Fall 2024
Surveys mountain environments and their human use with illustrations from temperate and tropical mountain areas. -
GEOG 3301 - Analysis of Climate and Weather Observations
Primary Instructor - Spring 2024 / Fall 2025
Discusses instruments, techniques and statistical methods used in atmospheric observations. Covers issues of data accuracy and analysis of weather maps. Provides application to temperature and precipitation records, weather forecasting and climate change trends. Uses computers to access data sets and process data. Recommended prerequisites: ATOC 1050 or ATOC 1060 or ATOC 3600 or GEOG 3601 or ENVS 3600 or GEOG 1001 and one semester calculus. Same as ATOC 3300. -
GEOG 5100 - Special Topics: Geography
Primary Instructor - Spring 2026
Covers various topics outside of the normal curriculum; offered intermittently depending on student demand and availability of faculty. May be repeated up to 9 total credit hours.
