ERTH 6230 - Biogeochemical Impacts of Extreme Events


Climate change is driving an increase in extreme weather events (storms, drought, wildfire). These events manifest as episodic disturbances to affected ecosystems that can alter carbon and nutrient fluxes and reorganize biogeochemical cycles. This course is an in-depth study of current, peer-reviewed literature addressing biogeochemical responses to environmental disturbance and extreme events across varied spatial and temporal scales.

Prerequisite or Corequisite: None.
