Description of Project

In this class, you will learn to perform hypothesis driven experiments with an Earth System Model. You will complete a class project that involves application of the skills from this class to your own model experiments. The project will consist of:

• A written paper describing your scientific question, hypothesis, experiment design, and results.
• An oral presentation to the class describing the project

You may perform proof-of-concept experiments on a scientific question related to your graduate research and/or interests or you may reproduce the results from a journal article in which experiments were performed using climate model. You should use CESM for your experiments.
