Hi,
I'm planning to co-teach a class in "Designing for global climate
change" in the Department of Landscape Architecture here and we would
like the students to be able to dig into one or more climate models
to see how design decisions impact some of the variables. These are
undergraduate landscape architect majors, many without a strong
science background. And though I'm the scientist in the group, I
don't have a background in climate change (other than contributing to
it, I guess).
So, my question is - are there any useful but relatively simple
climate change models that we can use to play "what if?" sorts of
things? I'd very much like to be able to have a model where we can
actually input some change resulting from a design decision and see
something change in the model (good or bad).
Thanks in advance for any help.
