Investigations in Climate Change

Built on the belief that learning works best hands-on, this Meteorology Laboratory Manual gives students a practical way to explore climate change through real principles, concepts, and historical data. Its flexible mix of multiple-choice and short-answer questions works equally well in person or remote, with each investigation taking about 2 to 3 hours, ideal for a standard one-unit lab course, and point values instructors can easily adjust to fit their own needs.
