ERTH 535, "Planetary Climate Change", was created originally as GEOL/METR 310 (and later became GEOL/METR/OCN 405 and then ERTH 535) using a grant from the
NASA Opportunities for Visionary Academics (NOVA)
program, which is in turn funded by the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration
(NASA).
Principle authors of the proposal included:
Dempsey (Prof. of Meteorology, Dept. of Geosciences)
Dr. Kathleen O'Sullivan (Prof. of Education, Dept. of Secondary Education)
Dr. Karen Grove (Prof. of Geology, Dept. of Geosciences).
The primary course design team also included:
Dr. Lisa White (Assoc. Prof. of Geology, Dept. of Geosciences)
Dr. Greg Schultz (NSF postdoctoral researcher, Space Science Lab, UC Berkeley)
Dillon Dutton (USGS geologist and SFSU teaching credential candidate).
