Essential Question: How is Earth's climate connected to its geological, biological and cultural systems?
Introduction
On Earth, the long and short story of climate is largely a story about the amazing atom, Carbon. In this module, we'll explore the history and roles of this element that is central to our existence, evolution and environment. Then we'll continue by exploring the physics of how our atmosphere interacts with the electromagnetic spectrum to help balance Earth's heat budget.
But first, we'll start by considering some vital cultural connections to our changing climate.
