In the next few weeks, several online courses will be offered that could be of interest to extension agents, scientists, and students of climate and agriculture.
In Fall 2020, the South Central Climate Adaptation Science Center at the University of Oklahoma will offer two short courses that will provide an integrative understanding of the components of the climate system. In Spring 2021, we will offer two additional short courses that dive into the impacts of climate change and adaptation strategies.
The courses are free and online, so anyone from anywhere may participate! You will have the opportunity to learn from climate experts at OU and our partner institutions. Upon successful completion of a short course, you will receive a personalized certificate.
You can register for the course at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeWTZ-92SS8gcr7WRSa1bAa2t6bdOjIS9BL4tXx61_60yOlEQ/viewform (deadline August 31 to register).
