Teaching

ENV490 - Major Topics in Environmental Science

ATM 552 – Climate Change
(taught every other fall semester)

PIRE Academies are three-day long courses, where undergraduate students across SUNY have the opportunity to do field and lab work in dendrochronology and participate in a workshop on the effects of climate change. They learn about past, present and future climate change in the US and abroad and how science can be used to inform policy- and decision-making.

PIRE Summer Schools offer students a unique opportunity to participate in a week-long paleoclimate course in a multi-cultural international context, spending time in labs at the University of Sao Paulo and do field work in the Atlantic rainforest in southeastern Brazil.

PIRE-CREATE offers a Webinar Series where students can learn about various aspects of past, present and future climate change, including aspects of extreme events, glacier retreat, volcanic forcing, dendrochronology, speleothem research, visualizations of climate change and much more.

We teach hands-on climate and paleoclimate courses through PIRE-CREATE and other projects that are geared toward SUNY undergraduate students majoring in environmental science and related fields.
