Earth Systems Science

Your "Introduction to Earth Systems" lecture starts the week, covering atmospheric layers and ocean currents. You're trying to grasp the scale of these interconnected systems. Afterward, you stop by Professor Chen's office hours to clarify a point about deep-sea thermohaline circulation. The afternoon is spent reviewing lecture notes and reading a chapter on climate dynamics, highlighting key terms. Later, you meet friends for dinner, discussing weekend plans and campus events, a nice break from new concepts.
