評價教學內容	#1 同氣象/海洋/生態相關 幾得意 不過建議有少少理科底先take （但唔使太擔心 計數唔難 唔識Calculus嘅都take得）補充返 個course逢sem 1 開 對全球暖化有興趣嘅話都推介
評價教員教學	#1 教學有趣 教得入腦
CUSIS科目資料	Description： This course presents an integrated introduction to the climate system, stressing the dynamics of the atmosphere and its physical and chemical interactions with the hydrosphere, biosphere and geosphere. The course applies basic scientific and mathematical principles to explain the history, current state and future projection of weather and climate, natural hazards (e.g., typhoons, floods), and global climate change in the context of natural variability and anthropogenic influence. Topics include Earth’s energy balance, climate feedback, convection and clouds, general circulation of the atmosphere and ocean, biogeochemistry and global carbon cycle, roles of vegetation and ecosystems, and historical and future climate change. Student taking this course are expected to have taken PHYS1111, CHEM1070 and MATH1010 or equivalent.   Learning Outcome： This course will contribute to the understanding of the dynamics of the climate system, specifically the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere and solid earth, as well as their interactions. The students should be able to: 1) describe and use the scientific processes, explain how theories are built upon earth system observations, and how both are tested and revised; 2) explain how fundamental physical and chemical principles govern specific climate system processes; 3) participate knowledgeably and intelligently in discussions of public policy related to earth system science, particularly with respect to extreme weather events, global climate change and sustainable development; 4) work effectively in a team, and present information in a clear, concise and logical manner.
