How can we know what materials are under the Earth’s surface? This course will cover methods to find out, including applications in environmental earth science such as seismic hazards, geothermal energy and groundwater. This new knowledge will prepar...
This course will review a diverse range of current controversies and debates in paleobiology using recently published papers. Topics will be selected from a list supplied by us and/or proposed by the class. We will suggest some literature as a starti...
This course introduces students to the fundamental concepts of dynamical meteorology and develops skills in problem solving.
This course extends the knowledge gained in GPHS 420 to the development of an understanding of weather systems in middle latitudes. Conceptual and mathematical models are investigated to provide insights into the physical processes that occur during ...
Students are introduced to the concepts of radiation and thermodynamics that are relevant to applications in meteorology and atmospheric physics.
This course investigates the microphysical properties of clouds. The meteorology of the lower boundary layer of the Earth's atmosphere is also examined. Offered in alternate years.
Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) is examined within the context of modern weather forecasting. It includes material on the historical development of NWP, wave properties of the governing mathematical equations, numerical methods, model physics, sta...
This course takes a mathematical approach to understanding climate dynamics, based on the equations of atmospheric motion and energy transport in the large-scale circulation. The second half of the course derives and uses the equation of radiative tr...
Introduction to Earth structure and seismic wave propagation.
This course, together with GPHS 521, forms an integrated study of forecasting practice and supporting meteorological theory. Emphasis is placed on the theoretical principles of weather observation, analysis and diagnosis that underpin weather predict...
