Course description
Introduces students to many of the ?big questions? driving climate  
change research. The course is centered on the reading and discussion  
of cutting-edge research papers but will also include readings and  
discussions related to processes and methods for critically evaluating  
and communicating climate science. This seminar will give students (1)  
an interdisciplinary understanding of the most critical issues  
motivating climate research today and (2) experience with the most  
important, yet often overlooked, skills one should attain as a  
scientist: reading, writing, speaking, synthesizing, and critical  
thinking.
