Learn about the major infl uences on Earth’s climate, which include atmospheric processes, the oceans and energy fl ow. Explore how we learn about past climates and what we now know about them. Lastly, examine climate change from the perspective of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) and the skeptics.
Aileen O’Donoghue holds physics degrees from New Mexico Tech where she studied both astronomy and atmospheric physics. She has taught a course on global climate at SLU for the past ten years.
NOTE: The fifth session of this course is on October 21 (same time, same place). (It was inadvertently left off the blue course booklet insert as well as off the yellow print calendar.)
