GSCI 398U Selected Topics: Meteorology and Media in Extreme Weather Forecasting

Summer Term: 5-week I (V1)
James Duncan
CRN: 30061 (section: 1)
Semester hours: 3
Fee: $1,725Online. No scheduled class meetings. Department approval required. This course is similar to the course that was taught in previous summers (ST: Cracking the Weather Code; Concepts in Forecasting) with an updated title. It is not recommended to anyone who previously took the course.
The explosive growth of communications of extreme weather events, from traditional news sources to social media, has brought increased awareness of how the weather impacts our lives and communities. Yet there remains a significant lack of public understanding of the challenges faced from both meteorological and communications perspectives in this rapidly evolving era. This course will take the student into that world of ever-increasing blending of the science of meteorology, social science and mass communications. Core fundamentals of how our weather works will be covered, with a focus throughout on that intrinsic relationship.
