Download Fall 2016/Spring 2017 Schedule AMS Climate Studies

Fall 2016/Spring 2017 Schedule AMS Climate Studies AMS Climate Studies course investigations are self‐contained in the Investigations Manual with accompanying Current Climate Studies components posted to the RealTime Climate Portal during fall and spring semesters. The first three Current Climate Studies components are posted for three weeks at the beginning of fall and spring semesters to accommodate the various starting dates at different institutions. The third week aligns with Investigations Manual 1A and 1B and the Current Climate Studies topic, 1. The Physical Basis for Earth’s Climate System, as seen in the schedule below. The middle, Current Climate Studies column identifies the three topics displayed that week. Each subsequent week, a new Current Climate Studies component will be posted while the oldest is moved to the Archives. All archived components are available for the rest of the academic year. The Archive also includes the Current Climate Studies from the previous year. Each new Current Climate Studies component will be posted on Monday mornings. Current Climate Studies answer keys and Respondus® files will be posted to the faculty website on the same schedule.
