Introduction to Climate Change
... The Earth's climate has changed many times during the planet's history, with events ranging from ice ages to long periods of warmth. Historically, natural factors such as volcanic eruptions, changes in the Earth's orbit, and the amount of energy released from the Sun have affected the Earth's climat ...

Atmospheric circulation patterns in climate change

In this talk I will review recent work from two projects investigating how regional changes to temperatures at the Earth's lower boundary can affect atmospheric circulatio ...
