GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE
A series of seven lectures — Exploring Our World and Ourselves / Fall 2006
The University of Arizona College of Science
Our planet is in the midst of significant global climate change that has great potential for affecting the way we live. Scientists are observing increases in temperature, changes in the chemistry of the atmosphere and oceans, shifts in water availability and vegetation, and changes in patterns of disease. The UA’s College of Science is proud to present seven lectures that will discuss how climate interacts with our biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere, and will offer ways to mitigate global climate change through technology and policy.
