The course will consist of lectures, discussions, student presentations,
exercises (modelling using STELLA), tests, and a final project. Both the presentation
(15 minute lecture to the class) and final project (10 page maximum) should
include models using STELLA.
Most of the first part of the course will be comprised of lectures by Professors Boardman and Cummins and discussions of the article readings that are assigned. During the second portion of the course each of you will be asked to make a presentation to the class.
Course Meetings:
There will be two 100 minute class meetings per week.
The readings we have selected include 1) the most recent, good articles on a subject as well as 2) the classic articles on the subject. We may modify the assigned readings during the course to include late-breaking articles and/or to include remedial articles.
The readings are all on electronic reserve in the Brill Science Library.
You must read the articles before each week's meetings. Discussion may occur
any time during that week; so be prepared.
We expect your presentation to be as professional as possible. We will speak
with each of you regarding your presentation during week 5, and we will ask
that you confer frequently with us regarding its progress. Use computer-generated
graphics, slides, and models. You will have 15 minutes to make your presentation.
The topic of the final paper / project will be chosen in consultation with
your professors during the first half of the course. The final project will
be due on the Thursday of week 14, and should be no more than 10 pages of
text. It should contain adequate references, figures, tables, etc., and it
should be typed (double-spaced, readable font, ...).
Prerequisites:
Either WCP 221 , WCP 222, GLG 244 or permission of the instructor.

Everyone will be involved in a semester long research project. This work will require an extensive statement of the topic of interest in combination with an in-depth literature review. The research topic must be integrated with data analysis and interpretation. The report will include actual research data obtained and analyzed from sources on NOAA's World Wide Web Paleoclimate Database (or other sources) as well as the most recent literature sources that address your research interests on global change. The report will take the form of a professional journal article. The report will be presented orally as well at the end of the semester.
Here is a Research Topic "Jump Start:"If you are ready, you can Enter Your Own Research Proposal or Discussion Topic NOW. Or, respond to a particular research submission!
