ESS 267: Climate Change & Extreme Weather

This course provides a graduate-level overview of current understanding of the relationship between climate change and extreme weather events. Topics include: causes of extreme weather events in the absence of climate change; approaches for quantifying the probability of extreme events in the absence of climate change; mechanisms by which climate change could alter the frequency or intensity of extreme events; approaches for detecting and attributing changes in extreme events in historical observations; approaches for understanding and quantifying potential changes in extreme events in response to future global warming; approaches for quantifying the impacts of past and future changes in extreme events on people and ecosystems. Pre-requisites: graduate standing or consent of instructor.

ESS 307: Research Proposal Development and Delivery (EPS 307)

(Formerly GEOLSCI 307) In this class students will learn how to write rigorous, high yield, multidisciplinary proposals targeting major funding agencies. The skills gained in this class are essential to any professional career, particularly in research science. Students will write a National Science Foundation style proposal (see guidelines) involving testable hypotheses, pilot data or calculations, and broader impacts. The proposal will, hopefully, form the core of your Ph.D. proposal. In addition to a full NSF style proposal, students will develop and exercise science communication skills and contribute to broader discussions about academia and research. Students will present their final proposals in a conference-style format at the end of the quarter. While this syllabus is a useful roadmap, we encourage students to provide input on where they¿d like to see the course go. Expect the instructors to reach out for suggestions every other week. Change of Department Name: Earth and Planetary Science (Formerly Geologic Sciences).

ESS 323: Stanford at Sea (BIO 182H, BIO 323H, EARTHSYS 323, OCEANS 182H, OCEANS 323H)

(Graduate students register for 323H.) Five weeks of marine science including oceanography, marine physiology, policy, maritime studies, conservation, and nautical science at Hopkins Marine Station, followed by five weeks at sea aboard a sailing research vessel in the Pacific Ocean. Shore component comprised of three multidisciplinary courses meeting daily and continuing aboard ship. Students develop an independent research project plan while ashore, and carry out the research at sea. In collaboration with the Sea Education Association of Woods Hole, MA. Only 6 units may count towards the Biology major.

ESS 326: Atmospheric Physics

Atmospheric physics refers to the physical behavior of Earth's atmosphere (and those of other planets). The purpose of this course is to introduce the laws of the thermodynamics that drive the changes in temperature, moisture, and the energy conversions, and the physics of aerosols, clouds, and precipitation (also known as "microphysics"). Understanding these processes on multiple time and space scales is crucial to gain insights of the evolution of the Earth's weather and climate systems. The advancement of atmospheric physics is dependent on observations from a variety of platforms (in situ, ground-based, and remote sensing), providing massive amounts of information regarding the evolving state of the atmosphere. These observational data are then fed into numerical models of the atmosphere, which play an increasingly important role in decision-making, from short-term forecasts of hazardous weather to long-term policy implications of global climate change. The course will discuss the state-of-the-art observations and numerical models related with aerosol, cloud, and precipitation.
