Climate change is the foremost critical challenge to the sustainability and habitability of the Earth as we know it. There is rapidly growing demand for expertise in the science that governs climate and informs models of climate change - across the private sector, within many Australian government organisations, and in research institutions. This minor delivers a strong understanding of climate science and combines it with relevant knowledge about ocean-atmosphere interaction, insight into global change, sustainability and air quality and climate change mitigation measures. This combination is ideally suited to equip you with diverse backgrounds and primary interests to tackle the mounting challenges in areas such as sea level change mitigation, local climate adaptation, sustainable resource management and coastal ocean climate mitigation.
