Rood | Framing the System: Glimpse into the climate change problem using observations and projections; How is science-based knowledge generated? Relation of climate change to global issues: energy, economics, population, consumption; Organizing our response to global warming: Mitigation – Adaptation | View Powerpoint | View PDF |
Rood | Knowledge Systems and Problem Solving: The gap between knowledge generation and knowledge use, the usability of science- based knowledge in problem solving: Structured problem solving, analysis tools, scenario analysis | View Powerpoint | View PDF |
Rood | Balance and Changing the Balance: The Earth-Sun-Space system in energy balance, role of the atmosphere and role of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and climate; Past variability and historical context; Carbon dioxide budget | View Powerpoint | View PDF |
Rood | The Conservation Principle: Balancing the Budget: The conservation of energy and mass, role of atmosphere, ocean, ice, and land; The Earth System; Modeling as budget and accounting, relation to scientific method | View Powerpoint | View PDF |
Rood | Response to Heating, Feedbacks: How does the Earth’s climate respond to an increase of carbon dioxide? If the Earth’s surface warms a little bit, does the Earth respond by cooling or by enhancing the warming? Role of ice, ocean, and the Arctic, abrupt climate change | View Powerpoint | View PDF |
Rood | Particles in the Atmosphere, Aerosols: The role of particulate matter
(aerosols) in the atmosphere: heating, cooling; Air quality and climate change; Changes in the Earth’s energy balance changes since the Industrial Revolution |

Rood | Observations of Earth’s Climate: Methods and quality of
observations; Causes the climate variability; How does the climate vary in the absence of human interference? |

Rood | Organization of Earth’s Climate: The role of weather in climate and
climate change: transporting energy and water, how humans experience climate; Why is weather organized the way it is organized: physical geography, rotation of planet, role in framing climate response and human impacts |
