This seminar will deepen your understanding from the "Introduction to Spatial Sciences" on how the past and present climate shapes geology, biomes and land use. We will explore the effects of and on climate on different temporal and spatial scales. Furthermore, we will discuss the direct and indirect effects of anthropogenic climate change as well as mitigation and adaptation measures. This course combines lecture-style teaching and discussions with short video sequences and exercises to apply the new knowledge. We use Moodle as our learning platform. See "Seminarplan" for further information.
There are lectures on climate change and there are lectures that provide an introduction to climate. This seminar does both and shows how these things are connected.

Understanding the complexity and interrelationships between climate and its impact on the biophysical environment and its anthropogenic use at global, regional and local levels. Capability to interpret climate data, climate models and infer climate mitigation and adaptation measures.
