This is an introductory course focusing on the theory and application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Technology. The course combines related theory with practical laboratory assignments.

The principles of oceanography with views on real world applications, especially to the teaching of this class at the high school as well. Prerequisite: At least one year of college-level chemisty or physics or instructor permission..

This course will equip students with some of the most commonly used deep learning architectures. We will explore feed-forward networks, convolutional neural networks, UNETs, encoders-decoders, generative adversarial networks and transformers. We will also analyze tools of explainable AI. Focused on environmental applications, students will apply these techniques to real-world data, solving problems in prediction, pattern recognition, and data-driven insights. Solid background in probability, statistics, and in coding (preferably Python) is recommended for enrollment in this course. 

Examination of the fundamental radiative, thermodynamic, and fluid dynamic processes in Earth's atmosphere with an emphasis on climatic time and space scales. Topics include atmospheric composition and radiative transfer, synoptic climatology, atmospheric general circulation, climate change, El Niño, and teleconnections. Prerequisites include EVSC 3300 or an undergraduate science degree.

In this course, students will learn about the behavior, dynamics, and thermodynamics of the tropical atmosphere. A wide range of time and space scales will be examined, from the large-scale energy balance down to cumulus convection and tropical cyclones. Emphasis will be placed on studying atmospheric convection. This course is a foundation for advanced study and research in atmospheric science, meteorology, and atmosphere-related disciplines.

In this course, various aspects of the effects of mountains on weather and climate will be covered. Examples include diurnal mountain wind systems, mountain waves, and cold air pools. Applications of mountain meteorology to other fields (air pollution, carbon cycle) will also be discussed. The students will learn to write up the results of an independent investigation of a research topic related to mountain meteorology and to present the results.

This course provides students with an overview of the use of meteorological research and weather information in various areas in society including agriculture, aviation, and recreation.

Studies the physical properties, processes, and structure of the oceans; mass and energy budgets; methods of measurements; and the nature and theory of ocean currents, waves, and tides in the open sea, near shore and in estuaries. Prerequisite: PHYS 2310, 2320 or equivalent, two semesters calculus, MATH 1310, 1320 recommended, or instructor permission.

This course provides the opportunity to offer a new course in the subject of atmospheric sciences.
