GEO 387H/GEO 377P: Physical Climatology
This course investigates the nature of Earth's climate and examines the processes that maintain our climate system based on physical principles. The class is concerned primarily with the global climate and its geographic variation on scales of hundreds to thousands of kilometers. Topics include the energy balance, the hydrologic cycle, general circulation of the atmosphere, general circulation of the oceans, how they all interact and vary at various spatial and temporal scales, and regional to global scale climate modeling.

Law 397C: Water/Wastewater Environmental Law Clinic
In this clinic, students will work with citizens of several low income communities in Travis and surrounding counties to assist with their quest to improve the quality of the water and wastewater systems in their communities. Clean drinking water and safe sanitation are the foundations of a healthy community. Throughout Texas, many communities still lack these basic components of environmental quality, and must rely on, and expose their children to, polluted well water and failing, unsanitary septic systems.
