Hi and welcome to GEO3032 spring 2026!
Next week, Tuesday January 20 at 14.15-16:00, we have the first lecture in room 2414 in Kristine Bonnevies hus. We remind you that attendance at the first lecture is compulsory, and that students who neither attend or give notice to the course responsible in advance are considered withdrawn from the course. You can give notice to course responsible Trude at trude.storelvmo@geo.uio.no if you are not able to attend.
Already on Thursday January 22, at 08:15-10:00, we have our first discussion session (same room), where we will discuss one of the foundational scientific articles in the discovery of the greenhouse effect. It is the article "The Bakerian Lecture: On the Absorption and Radiation of Heat by Gases and Vapours, and on the Physical Connexion of Radiation, Absorption, and Conduction" by John Tyndall from 1861, which you can find in the textbook or by following the link to the article here. We ask you to read the article before the discussion session, and hand in answers to a few short questions about the article by the end of Wednesday January 21. You can find the questions below, and more information about the hand-in itself will come on the first lecture/via Canvas.
Look forward to meeting you!
