Specialization - Hydroclimatology

ENSC 2116  Hydroclimatology

Prerequisites:

GEOG 1017

Antirequisites:

GEOG 2107 and GEOG 2126

Hours:

Two hours of lecture and two hours of lab per week.

Credits:

3

Description:

Students learn the principles of hydroclimatology, focusing on interactions between the Earth’s energy, climate and the hydrologic cycles across spatial and temporal scales. Students gain an understanding of the fundamental processes governing energy and water flow on Earth to explore how atmospheric and hydrological process govern precipitation, evapotranspiration, soil moisture, water storage, runoff, extreme events (floods and droughts) and how these processes influence climate variability and climate change.
