Environmental and Sustainable Courses

GUST's College of Art & Sciences (CAS) offers an envrionmental science course that serves as a credited course that the majority of the majors can take as a Life & Natural Sciences offering.

ENVR103, Weather and Climate, is a 3-credit hour course which explores the elements of the environment and nature, along with the changes to the weather and climate, and how best to prevent them from worsening. Topics include:

Atmospheric Composition
Solar Radiation
Temperature
Moisture and Condensation
Weather Patterns
Optical Phenomena in the Atmosphere
Air Pollution
Climate Changes
Greenhouse Warning

Course Learning Outcomes (And Associated UN Sustainable Development Goals)

Upon completing the "Weather and Climate" course, students will have acquired the following skills and knowledge:

Discuss the effect of altitude on atmospheric pressure and temperature; describe the changes of the seasons and daylight in relation to position of the sun; discuss the effect of heat transfer on the atmosphere temperature and explain the greenhouse gas effects. (SDG3 and SDG 13)
Identify the waves of electromagnetic spectrum; learn and apply the laws of radiation; list the principle controls of temperature and describe their effects; know how to properly and with high accuracy measure the air temperature.
Understand the connection between atmospheric pressure, condensation, cloud formation, dewpoint temperature (as a proxy of Humidity). (SDG 13)
Understand how human intervention partially plays a role in air pollution and climate change; identify sources of air pollution and what common technologies mitigate air pollution. (SDG 7)
Differentiate between several common experimental techniques (seafloor sediment calcium carbonate analysis, oxygen isotope analysis, tree rings) used to detect climate change; and understand how cyclic variations in Earth’s Axis and Orbit change climates globally. (SDG 13)
