Climate Change Indicators in the United States
This online engineering PDH course provides an in-depth exploration of climate change indicators in the United States, highlighting the latest scientific findings and data trends from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
This course explores the effects of climate change on various environmental and societal factors, including greenhouse gas emissions, temperature changes, extreme weather events, and water resources. It serves as a valuable resource for professionals seeking to enhance their expertise in climate science and contribute to sustainability efforts within their organizations and communities.
In addition, this course covers critical topics such as the rising levels of greenhouse gases, changes in precipitation patterns, and the impact of extreme heat and wildfires. It also examines how these factors affect ecosystems, human health, and socioeconomic conditions. It highlights the significance of these indicators and the importance of taking action to mitigate climate change through a combination of data analysis and case studies.
This 5 PDH online course is applicable to engineers, environmental scientists, as well as other technical professionals interested in understanding the implications of climate change.
This PE continuing education course is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the fundamental principles of climate change and its indicators as documented by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
- Familiarizing with the key greenhouse gases and their sources, including their impact on global warming and climate systems
- Learning how changes in temperature and precipitation patterns affect ecosystems and human health
- Knowing the trends in extreme weather events, including heat waves, heavy precipitation, and droughts, and their implications for society
- Understanding the connections between climate change, water resources, and the availability of clean drinking water
- Familiarizing with the effects of ocean warming and acidification on marine ecosystems and fisheries
- Learning about the socio-economic impacts of climate change, particularly on vulnerable communities
- Knowing the strategies and actions being implemented to address climate change and promote resilience in affected areas
In this professional engineering CEU course, you need to review the course document titled, “Climate Change Indicators in the United States”, which is based on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Publication No. EPA 430-R-24-003, titled “Climate Change Indicators in the United States”.
Once you complete your course review, you need to take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty-five (25) questions to earn 5 PDH credits. The quiz will be based on the entire document.
Upon successful completion of the quiz, print your Certificate of Completion instantly. (Note: if you are paying by check or money order, you will be able to print it after we receive your payment.)
