地球系统科学（荣誉）学士学位

地球系统科学（ESS）专注于地球的生物，化学，物理和人类子系统之间的联系。它专注于通过生物圈，大气层，冰冻圈，水圈和固体地球的能量和物质循环，时间范围从数天到数十亿年不等。需要这种新的，综合的，整体的方法来解决当今地球面临的复杂和具有挑战性的全球问题。它利用在生态，环境，地理，地质，气象，海洋学等学科中发展起来的专业知识。ESS的McGill计划旨在为学生提供技能和知识，以应对六项重大挑战，这对于我们对地球运行方式的理解至关重要。它们是：（1）全球生物地球化学循环，（2）气候变化与变化，（3）土地利用和土
Earth System Science (ESS) concentrates on the linkages between the biological, chemical, physical and human subsystems of the Earth. It focuses on the cycling of energy and matter through the biosphere, the atmosphere, the cryosphere, the hydrosphere and the solid earth, at time scales from days to billions of years. This new, integrated and holistic approach is needed to tackle the complex and challenging global problems facing the Earth today. It draws upon the expertise developed within disciplines such as Ecology, Environment, Geography, Geology, Meteorology and Oceanography. The McGill program in ESS is designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge to address six Grand Challenges that are fundamental to our understanding of the way in which the Earth operates. These are: (1)Global biogeochemical cycles, (2) Climate Variability and Change, (3) Land use and land cover change, (4)Energy and resources, (5) Earth hazards, such as volcanoes, earthquakes and hurricanes, (6) Earth-atmosphere observation, analysis and prediction.<br><br>###COVID Alert Message from University – This course is offered online and will continue on campus later.
