Objectives
- Explain Earth's energy balance, the greenhouse effect, and why trace gases drive climate
- Trace the carbon cycle's fast and slow loops and quantify human disruption in gigatonnes
- Interpret climate models, scenarios, and feedback loops including ice-albedo and water vapor
- Analyze population dynamics, food webs, biodiversity metrics, and ecosystem services
- Diagnose air pollution chemistry, eutrophication, acid deposition, and emerging contaminants
- Compare fossil, nuclear, and renewable energy on carbon intensity, land use, and life-cycle costs
- Apply maximum sustainable yield reasoning to fisheries, forests, water, and soils
- Evaluate environmental claims using the planetary boundaries framework
- Distinguish natural climate variability from anthropogenic signals using multiple evidence lines
- Read scientific summaries critically by checking units, timescales, and system boundaries
Pre Requisites
- High school level chemistry including basic atoms, molecules, and reactions
- High school level biology covering cells, photosynthesis, and ecosystems
- Comfort with units, percentages, and reading simple graphs and charts
- Curiosity about how Earth systems work without prior environmental coursework required
FAQ
- Q. How long do I have access to the course materials?
- A. You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.
- Q. Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?
- A. Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don't have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That's up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
