    Física Aplicada

    Environmental Physics
    4.5 ECTS
    Alfonso Calera / Antonio J. Barbero García
    Prerequisite: None

    Objective

    The Environmental Physics is inside of the scientific knowledge body named “Environmental Sciences”. It
    concerns the description and analysis of physical processes that establish the conditions in which all species of
    life survive and reproduce. The subject involves a synthesis of mathematical relations that describe the
    physical nature of the environment and the many biological responses that environments evoke.
    Environmental Physics provides a basis for understanding the complex responses of plants and animals to
    environmental change, focusing on interactions between surfaces and the atmosphere.

    Contents

    The main topics of this course are:

    SUN-EARTH ASTRONOMICAL RELATIONSHIPS


    THE ATMOSPHERE: TEMPERATURE AND MOISTURE AT BOUNDARY LAYER
    HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER
    RADIATION ENVIRONMENT
    SURFACE ENERGY BALANCE.: GLOBAL WARMING AND GREENHOUSE EFFECT
    EVAPOTRANSPIRATION
    REMOTE SENSING: Earth Observation

    After finishing the course the student will have basic knowledge about these topics. Have knowledge of the
    basics of the relevant theories and be familiar with basic concepts and models. The student will also be able
    to explain these basic concepts and models and apply the basic principles to a given problem.

    Teaching disposition
    Principal methods of instruction are lectures, seminars, and lab practices. The design of the module allows
    students to attend lectures, and discuss lab practices in small group settings. The students are expected to
    read the assigned material and participate actively in seminar discussions.
    Examination

    A written term paper about a description of lab experiment and an exam are required. Attendance in
    seminars is mandatory to pass the course.
    In case of failure on seminar participation or individual and group assignments, compensating assignments
    must be completed in accordance with instructions given on each occasion.
    Students who do not pass the written examination will be offered a re-examination opportunity in
    September.
