Competencies and objectives

 

Course context for academic year 2022-23

  • This subject is devoted to the general study of the elements of climate, atmospheric dynamics, the major climatic zones and climate change on Earth.
  • The subject offers students theoretical and practical training in basic aspects of climatology; sources of climate data information; analysis techniques, as well as their graphic and cartographic representation. All of this is essential for continuing professional training in weather and climate communication, territorial planning and climate risk management.
  • All this content is essential for taking other subjects of the degree in Geography and Land Management related to Biogeography, Geomorphology, Hydrogeomorphology, Landscape, Planning, Land Use, Natural Risks, among other subjects.
