Full course description
Description
This training introduces Earth System Models (ESMs) and their role in comprehensive climate prediction. It emphasizes their integration of physical, chemical, and biological processes to predict ecological and climate-related consequences, helping address the challenges of climate change.
Target Audience
This training video is tailored for climate scientists, environmental policymakers, educators, and students studying climate change who seek to understand how ESMs aid in predicting and mitigating ecological and climate impacts.
Learning Outcomes
After completing this training, you will be able to:
- Explain the primary function of Earth System Models (ESMs) in climate prediction.
- Understand how ESMs contribute to addressing climate change.
- Recognize the importance of integrating terrestrial and marine biospheres into climate models.
- Clarify the comprehensive goals of ESMs, beyond physical climate projections, to include ecological impacts.
