Learning Outcomes
- differentiate between weather and climate, both in principle and in terms of their applications to ecological patterns and processes related to natural resources and environmental science.
- evaluate eco-climatic changes in mountain environments at multiple time scales, from daily and seasonal to interannual and interdecadal.
- evaluate eco-climatic changes in mountain environments at multiple spatial scales, from a site and watershed to a region, continent, and the whole globe.
