Class: *CANCELED* Enrich Your Life: Global Climate Change in Your Backyard

The planet is warming fast with consequences to ecosystems, and human infrastructure and economy. Who is responsible? What are the consequences for us here in Colorado? In this community course we will address the earths energy balance, transfer and distribution of heat on the planet, the carbon cycle, local and global biosphere-atmosphere-climate feedbacks, and the impact of these on ecosystem services we rely on. This unique course will be taught through a series of short lectures, discussions, and hands-on exercises at the treeline of Pikes Peak, where the course instructor Miro Kummel researches the impacts of climate change on treeline movement and functioning of local ecosystems.
