Instructor on Record
ESCI/ATSC 3403 - Meteorology
Course Description: 4 sem. hrs. (3:2) This course is an introduction to meteorology and the dynamics of planetary atmospheres. Emphasis on atmospheric accretion, composition, evolution, structure, and dynamics. Lab exercises cover basic measurement techniques, weather maps, and forecasting.

ESCI/ATSC 4335 - Climate and Climate Variability
Course Description: 3 sem. hrs. (3:0) This course intended to guide environmental science undergraduate students in developing a conceptual understanding of Earth’s global climate and its variability. Review past climates, present mean state of the climate system, climate variability from seasonal to multi-decadal time scales, and climate change. Special attention will be given to climates of the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea and surrounding land regions. Plausible climate-change scenarios, as well as mitigation and adaptation strategies will also be discussed.
MATH 1442 - Statistics for Life
Course Description: 4 sem. hrs. (3:2) An introduction to statistical concepts and methods used in all disciplines to enhance decision making based on data analysis, including: basic experimental design models, measurement and data collection through sampling; display and summary of information, and assessment of relationship through descriptive techniques; probability concepts leading to estimation and hypothesis testing of means, variance and proportions, regression analysis, one-factor ANOVA and chi-square test of independence; and applications through case studies. The laboratory component of the course offers applications of the theory presented during the classroom sessions.

AOSC 200/201 - Weather and Climate
Course Description: 4 sem. hrs. (3:1:2) Three hours of lecture, one hour of discussion, and two hours of lab each week. Broad survey of the state of knowledge and problems of atmospheric science. Origin and structure of the atmosphere, meteorological observations, analysis and prediction of weather systems (synoptic and mesoscale), satellites, energetics, wind, general circulation, storms, severe weather, climate change, air pollution. Laboratory exercises will supplement AOSC 200, including weather observations, weather map analysis, use of the Internet, forecasting practice, and climate modeling.
