University of Chicago Geophysical Lectures
Vibration of gas molecules and mathematical climate models are some of many topics discussed in the video taped university course "PHSC 13400 Global Warming: Understanding the Forecast" generously uploaded to YouTube by The University of Chicago.To quote the course lecturer Professor in Geophysical Science David Archer: "This 10-week course for non-science majors focuses on a single problem: assessing the risk of human-caused climate change. The story ranges from physics to chemistry, biology, geology, fluid mechanics, and quantum mechanics, to economics and social sciences. The class will consider evidence from the distant past and projections into the distant future, keeping the human time scale of the next several centuries as the bottom line".Thank you to Prof. Archer and the production team for making these videos available.YouTube playlist of the 23 lessons here, or alternatively use this Windows .NET viewer. -Sep. 24, 2011
