Learning outcomes
Analyze the patterns of occurrence and development of processes and phenomena in the atmosphere in their interaction with other geospheres (PLO-1). To develop and implement mechanisms of territorial management, geoplanning, to monitor regional development, to draw up plans and programs taking into account meteorological and climatic information (PRN-9). Identify and classify known and record new phenomena and processes in the atmosphere, their properties and their inherent features (ELO 13).
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
1. Successful completion of courses in "Climatology", "General atmospheric circulation", "General Chemistry, Environmental Climatology, General and Historical Geology. 2. Knowledge of theoretical foundations of climatology, geology, physics, chemistry, physical geography, ability to establish cause and effect relationships between phenomena and processes that occurring in the natural environment. 3. Possession of methods of synthesis and analysis of information.
Course content
The discipline is devoted to the study of variability and change of the climate system during geological history of the Earth and in the modern era, the causes of these changes and their consequences. The course consists of two content modules. The discipline "Global Climate Dynamics" is one of the components of the comprehensive preparation of the specialty "Earth Sciences" under the program "Meteorology" Within the first content module the structure, parameters and properties of the global climate system, natural and anthropogenic factors that affecting its formation and variability, their interaction and physical mechanisms of of climate change. The second module considers long-term changes in global climate during the geological history of the Earth and their features in the industrial period. Considerable attention is paid to methods of research, monitoring and forecasting of climate change, probable scenarios of their change in the medium and long term under the implementation of different socio-economic, greenhouse gas emission and impact scenarios, and measures that allow the global economy to adapt to these changes, mitigate their negative impact and prevent further changes in the climate system.
