Global Climate Change Course for Teachers

Tuition paid by NSF grant!

This summer, Seattle Pacific University's Physics department will offer a course in Global Climate Change as part of its Earth System Science Education Alliance program. This 30 clock hour course will meet on campus three times for about two hours each with the remainder of the coursework being conducted online. Our preliminary meeting will be on Thursday, June 11, 2009 at 5:00 PM. Subsequent meetings and course requirements will be discussed at that time. The course officially extends from June 11 to July 24, with some flexibility of schedule in between. This course will examine different aspects of Global Climate Change with emphasis on the Little Ice Age and the role of methane as a greenhouse gas. Tuition is paid by our grant and meals will be provided at our meetings. This course is funded by the National Science Foundation through the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies, and provides the opportunity to obtain graduate academic credit.
