Credits: 10
Semester: Year-Long
Department: GEOGRAPHY
International: Yes
Coordinator: Prof. Conor Murphy (GEOGRAPHY)
Overview Overview
 

This module deals with key issues in doing climate science and in linking climate science with policy and action. Over the course of the module we will examine key issues from the physical and social sciences and communication of climate change with the public. Delivery will be workshop based and be led by leading academics in the field. Learning will be supplemented with field visits, working and engaging with practitioners and policy makers. The focus of workshops will vary from year to year but will focus on key topics such as data collection, quality assurance, detection and attribution of climate change in historical records, attribution of extreme events, working with different sources/types of climate information, the importance of the social sciences in developing sustainable climate policy, evaluating the outcomes of adaptation actions and communicating climate change. The key objective of the module is to better understand how climate research, broadly defined can inform decision making and make real world impact.
