Study Climate Change Using Basic Thermodynamics

Position Description: Come research the fundamentals of climate change! This position will involve running a basic radiative transfer climate model (which sounds more intimidating than it is) and summarizing its results. If time/interest allows, it can also involve doing exploring satellite observations of atmospheric chemical composition.
