Overview

Climate change is an increasingly vital component of scientific understanding. This course will introduce you to the many facets of climate change – providing you with information about the development of Earth’s structures, its biomes, climate regulation, and oceans. You’ll also explore the anthropogenic influences of agriculture and industrialisation, humanity’s response to climate change and what the future of climate change may look like.

Climate change refers to long-term shifts in temperatures and weather patterns. These shifts may be natural, but since the 1800s, human activities have been the main driver of climate change, primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels (like coal, oil and gas), which produces heat-trapping gases.

The course begins with an exploration of climate, climate science, and the greenhouse effect before moving onto the history and development of Earth’s structures and their relation to surface climate.

We’ll learn about specific climates associated with Earth’s biomes, their reaction to climate change, and how to differentiate Earth’s most important climate regulation biogeochemical cycles. We’ll also consider how oceans react to increased atmospheric carbon concentrations, and their role in material and energy exchange.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
