What will I learn?
In this Applied Climatology Course, you will define study areas for counties, retrieve reliable public climate data, and handle long-term records with proper quality checks. You will spot trends, create indicators for extreme heat and rain, connect results to crop yields and community vulnerabilities, and conclude by selecting feasible adaptation strategies while preparing a solid, data-driven climate impact report.
