Course Objectives		The “Advanced Topics in Earth System Science” course will teach paleooceanography and biosphere as follows: 1. To teach students the the basic knowledge in paleooceanography. 2. To teach the interaction between biosphere and atmosphere. 3. To learn the earth system behaviour, and the planet's oceans, lands, and atmosphere as an integrated system, with an emphasis on changes occurring during the current period of overwhelming human influence, the Anthropocene.
Course Description		Earth system science course will include oceans, lands and atmosphere as an integrated systems. The main topics of the course are to study problems involving processes occurring at the Earth's surface, including climate and global environmental change, marine and freshwater ecosystems, microclimates and vegetation, introduction to palynology, plants and the carbon cycles, from climate to vegetation, and the structure of the Earth’s lithosphere and how these systems interact with each other.
Course Outcomes		PhD students who take this course gain knowledge, skills and proficiency in the following subjects 1. Students will be able to learn how they monitor and understand Earth system behaviour. 2. The students will learn the principles of biology, chemistry, and physics to study problems involving processes occurring at the Earth's surface, such as climate change and global nutrient cycles. 3. The overall aim of the course is to prepare students providing a foundation for problem solving related to environmental sustainability and global environmental change. 4. The objectives of in Earth System Science is to continue a student's training in one of the earth science disciplines and to prepare students for a professional career.
