Kaup valmöguleikar

Víðtæk, hagnýt og töluleg kynning á nýjustu vísindum um hnattræna hlýnun. Kennslubókin kynnir grunnnema fyrir hugtökum og aðferðum fræðasviðsins og fjallar um málefni sem eru reglulega í fréttum, meðal annars gróðurhúsaáhrif, hlýnun, súrnun sjávar, fellibylji, aftakaúrkomu, þurrka, hitabylgjur, skógarelda og freðhvolfið.

Viðfangsefnin eru útskýrð með einfaldri tölfræðilegri greiningu, venjulegum diffurjöfnum og grundvallarefnahvörfum. Í hverjum kafla er fjallað um ferlin að baki breytingum sem hafa orðið eða eru fyrirsjáanlegar í loftslagskerfinu og sýnt hvernig nota má viðeigandi verkfæri til að skilja þær og spá fyrir um þær. Hverjum kafla í Global Warming Science fylgir verkleg æfing sem byggist á Jupyter Python-vinnubók og litlu gagnasafni.

Verklegu æfingarnar má nota bæði sem gagnvirkan hluta kennslustunda og sem heimaverkefni.

  • Skýr, víðtæk og töluleg en jafnframt aðgengileg nálgun á vísindi hnattrænnar hlýnunar.
  • Nemendur fá þjálfun í að greina loftslagsgögn og líkön, meta spár og takast á við óvissu.
  • Verklegar æfingar fylgja hverjum kafla og efla nám með virkri þátttöku.
  • Kóði og gagnaskrár eru aðgengileg á netinu.
  • Aðeins er krafist grunnþekkingar í stærðfræðigreiningu og tölfræði á háskólastigi; ekki er gert ráð fyrir fyrra námi í raunvísindum.
