TY - GEN AU - Tziperman, Eli TI - Global warming science: a quantitative introduction to climate change and its consequences SN - 9780691228792 U1 - 577.276 PY - 2022/// CY - Princeton PB - Princeton University Press KW - Global warming KW - Greenhouse effect KW - Climatic changes KW - Ecology KW - Environmental pollution N1 - Includes notes, index and references N2 - This textbook introduces undergraduates to the concepts and methods of global warming science, covering topics that they encounter in the news, ranging from the greenhouse effect and warming to ocean acidification, hurricanes, extreme precipitation, droughts, heat waves, forest fires, the cryosphere, and more. This book explains each of the issues based on basic statistical analysis, simple ordinary differential equations, or elementary chemical reactions. Each chapter explains the mechanisms behind an observed or anticipated change in the climate system and demonstrates the tools used to understand and predict them. Proven in the classroom, Global Warming Science also includes “workshops” with every chapter, each based on a Jupyter Python notebook and an accompanying small data set, with supplementary online materials and slides for instructors. The workshop can be used as an interactive learning element in class and as a homework assignment. https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691228808/global-warming-science ER -
