Faculty
The Climate Change Studies minor was developed by members of a climate change curriculum task force convened by then Provost Royce Engstrom in December 2007. The task force, co-chaired by Dr. Steve Running and Dr. Dane Scott, included 29 faculty members from across campus, representing a wide range of disciplines.
The Climate Change Studies minor is coordinated by a program director and steering committee made up of faculty from each of the science, society and solutions areas.
