Intermediate Space Science and Climate Science

Module code: PA2605

What can other planets teach us about Earth, and what can Earth's climate reveal about other worlds? This module brings together climate science and planetary science to explore the environments of Earth, the Solar System and beyond. You'll gain a unique perspective on how planetary atmospheres and climates evolve across the cosmos.

Topics include:

• Earth's climate system and atmospheric processes
• Climate observations, satellites and environmental datasets
• Evidence for climate change and long-term climate trends
• Planets, moons and planetary systems
• Space missions and the exploration of the Solar System
• Exoplanets and the search for other worlds
