A playlist of lecture videos titled, ‘Climate Science Education Series’ by Raghu Murtugudde, Professor, University of Maryland, USA and developed by Science Media Center, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune, India. This playlist provides an overview of the relationships between the Earth’s climate, the biosphere, and the lithosphere.

This Series consists of the following video lecture:

1. Structure of the Earth
2. Introduction to the Geo-Biosphere
3. Plate Tectonics, Plate Movement and Plate Reconstruction
4. Movement of the Indian Plate, Climate Change and Biological Response
5. Geologic Timescales
6. Tree of Life
7. Allometric and Isometric Scaling
8. Effect of Climate on Biology: Allopatric Speciation
9. Evolution of Plants, Flowers and Seeds
10. Life and the Evolution of Earth’s Atmosphere
11. Climate Impacts on Leaf Morphology
12. Plant Response to Climate Change
13.  Environmental Variability and Biodiversity
14.  Environmental Variability and Distribution of Species
15.  Climate, The Earth’s Atmosphere & The Biosphere
16.  Human Origins, Human Evolution and Climate
17. Human Migration and Species Extinction
18. Human Induced Change and Effect on Species
19. Climate and Sex Selection

Students will learn about topics such as plate tectonics, formation of mountains, climate and biological evolution. They will also be introduced to how plant responses to changes in atmospheric CO2, what determines the distribution of species on planet Earth, and how humans are affecting climate, and how climate influences human evolution.
