ENS 150 Introduction to Geoscience

A survey course on the dynamic processes of the atmosphere and geosphere focusing on major topics and themes in meteorology and geomorphology. Topics include: atmospheric circulation, humidity, extreme weather and storm development, climate change, geologic hazards, landforms, rivers, and coastal processes. Students will understand how these processes work but also how our planetary processes affect their daily lives and the environment around them. ENS 150 does not count towards the major or minor in Environmental Studies but does count toward the minor in Sustainability.
