The minor in Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences (APS) requires 18 credit hours from the following list of courses:<\/p><ul><li>9-12 hours selected from: SCI 102; ESC 202; APS 101, 102, 105, 106, 303 (or PHY 303), 304, 333, 345, 399.<\/li><li>3-6 hours selected from: CHE 509; APS\/PHY 307; 351, 411.<\/li><li>3-6 hours selected from: APS 401, 410<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>Course Offerings<\/strong><\/p><p><em><strong>APS 101, Introduction to Weather and Climate<\/strong><\/em><br \/>Credits 3.<br \/>Everyone is affected by the weather and climate. Dramatic uncontrolled events like hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, and heat waves often focus our attention. Other less dramatic, but important events like droughts, air pollution, and climate change also cause great concern. This course is designed to investigate many of these weather phenomena on a rational physical basis. This course satisfies the university general education core requirement in physical science.<\/p><p><em><strong>APS 102, Natural Disasters<\/strong><\/em><br \/>Credits 3.<br \/>The Earth is a dynamic, sometimes violent home. From superstitions involving angry gods and inscrutable fish, humanity has progressed to a thorough understanding of the dramatic and sometimes deadly natural phenomena we are subject to. This course examines our physical understanding of these processes, our ability to forecast and mitigate them, and appropriate precautionary measures. Along the way we will explore basic geophysics, atmospheric physics, and planetary science topics. This course satisfies the university general education core requirement in physical science.<\/p><p><em><strong>APS 105, Astronomy of the Planets<\/strong><\/em><br \/>Credits 3.<br \/>An introduction to astronomy suitable for all students. The earth in space. Seasons, orbits, the sun and planets. The history of the earth and planets. NASA&#8217;s exploration of the solar system with telescopes and spacecraft. Course includes evening observing with telescopes at Turner Observatory. This course satisfies the university general education core requirement in physical science.<\/p><p><em><strong>APS 106, Astronomy of the Stars and Galaxies<\/strong><\/em><br \/>Credits 3.<br \/>Second semester to Physics 205. The Sun and stars. Supernovas and black holes. The Universe and its origin and evolution. The Big Bang theory and cosmic inflation. NASA&#8217;s space telescopes. Course includes evening observing with telescopes at Turner Observatory.<\/p><p><em><strong>APS 303, Meteorology<\/strong><\/em><br \/>Credits 3.<br \/>Topics include the weather and the properties of the Earth&#8217;s troposphere. Some fundamental aspects of atmospheric science such as scale heights, lapse rates, and hydrostatics are covered in this course. Corequisite: PHY 203 or permission of the instructor.<\/p><p><em><strong>APS 304, Earth and Planetary Science<\/strong><\/em><br \/>Credits 3.<br \/>Geology and history of the planets of the solar system. The atmospheres of the Earth and planets, emphasizing Venus, Mars and Jupiter. The greenhouse effect and the ice ages. Recent discoveries involving planets orbiting other stars.
