Student Activities for Climate Processes:
1. Construct a conceptual model (using causal loop diagrams) of key feedbacks in the climate-carbon cycle system and their relevant timescales. Identify data sources that constrain the timescales and rates of different key processes.
2. Identify or construct a model of the global carbon cycle and interpret it, distinguishing between stocks and flows.
3. Identify or construct a model of the global energy balance and interpret it, distinguishing between stock and flows.
