505 |a 1. Introduction: The Changing Planetary System. Space and time perspective of the world’s people – Space and time scales of Earth processes – The concept of cycling – The technosphere – The natural system and its human dimensions -- 2. Earth’s Lithosphere: Geologic Time and Building Blocks. Geologic framework of time – Some historical events – The geologic time scale – Earth’s building blocks: minerals – Earth’s building blocks: rocks – Igneous rocks – Sedimentary rocks – Deep sea sediments and Earth history – Metamorphic rocks – Soils – Soil classification – Climate and soils -- 3. Earth’s Lithosphere: Plate Tectonics. Earth’s interior – The core of Earth – The mantle of Earth – The crust and lithosphere of Earth – Oceanic crust – Continental crust -- 4. The Fluid Earth: Atmosphere. The atmosphere – Stratosphere – Troposphere – Air masses – Clouds – Prediction of weather and climate -- 5. The Fluid Earth: Hydrosphere and Air-Sea Interactions. The water cycle – Water reservoir – Oceans – Cryosphere – Minor water reservoirs – The air sea interactions – Intertropical convergence zone – El Niño southern oscillation (ENSO) – The Atlantic and Pacific decadal oscillations -- 6. Our Living Planet: Earth’s Ecosphere. Chemistry of biological systems and cells – Classifications of the biota – Genealogy and evolutionary relationships – Classification within a kingdom – Ecosystems and their dynamics – Components of ecosystems – Ecological pyramids – Terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems – Terrestrial biomes – Aquatic biomes – Biomass and productivity – Fundamental differences – Extinction -- 7. Biogeochemical Cycles of Carbon, Nutrients, and Oxygen. Construction of global biogeochemical cycling models – Reservoirs – Transport paths and fluxes – Modeling – Carbon – Short term cycling: photosynthesis / Respiration – Long term cycling: the CaCO3 – SiO2 connection – Medium term cycling: the organic matter oxygen connection – The methane cycle: the wetland CH4 connection --- Oxygen – Nitrogen – Sulfur – Phosphorus – C-N-P-SO- Cycles and human interference -- 8. Historical Framework of Global Environmental Change. “The Big Bang” – The evolving universe – Evolution of planet Earth – Hadean Eon: Earth’s violent beginning – Precambrian eon: radical atmospheric changes and the beginnings of life – Phanerozoic eon: life multiplies and wanders -- 9. Human Forcings on the Ecosphere: World Population, Development and Resource Consumption. Brief historical review – Industrial and human population trends – Industrialization – Population growth – Gross national and domestic products (GNP and GDP) – Resources: energy and minerals – Energy resources – Mineral resources – Conservation -- 10. The Changing Earth Surface: Terrestrial Vegetation. Forests worldwide – Global forest assessments – Historical estimates of wooded and forested land – Forest of the past – Forests of today – The impact of human activities on forests – Forest ecosystems: the effect of change – Causes of deforestation – Domesticated ecosystems: agrosystems as an example – Fertilizers – Pesticides – Irrigation systems – Food resources -- 11. The Changing Earth Surface: Land and Water. The soil ecosystem – Soil conditions – The coupled land water ecosystem – Freshwater resources – Water pollution – Coastal zones -- 12. The Changing Atmosphere: Acid Deposition and Photochemical Smog. Acid deposition – Formation of nitrogen and sulfur oxides – Ph FACTOR – Sweden’s dying lakes – Sources of sulfur and nitrogen oxides – Sensitivity to acid deposition – Emission abatement measures – Photochemical smog – Urban pollution – Tropospheric ozone – Sources of VOCs and nitrogen oxides – Effects of air pollution on health – Controlling tropospheric ozone -- 13. The Changing Atmosphere: Pleistocene and Holocene Environmental Change. Records of climate – Factors influencing climate – Fluctuations in solar energy – Orbital parameters – Planetary albedo – Climate and environment of the more recent past – Pleistocene epoch – Holocene epoch -- 14. The Changing Atmosphere: Global Warming and Stratospheric Ozone Depletion. The greenhouse effect and climatic change – Enhanced greenhouse effect – Atmospheric greenhouse gases – World distribution of human sources of greenhouse gases – Climate and ecologic consequences of an enhanced greenhouse effect – Stratospheric ozone and the hole in the sky – The importance of ozone – The measurement of ozone – The ozone balance – The ozone depleting chemicals history of ozone depletion -- 15. Human Dimensions of Global Environmental Change. What we know and future concerns – Human induced global environmental change – Reactions to global environmental change issues – An example of global environmental policy – The national research council recommendations – Factors involved in policy decisions – Approaches to global environmental cooperation – Business as usual – Global partnership – Global governance – The question of sustainability – Equity condition – Legacy condition – Continuity condition.
