Content
The course will follow step by step the textbook 'Atmospheric Evolution on Inhabited and Lifeless Worlds' by D. Catling and J. Kasting, Cambridge Univ. Press 2017, which is an advanced text book describing the mathematical, physical, and chemical basis for understanding the structure and evolution of planetary atmospheres.

Learning outcome
After the course, the students will have obtained the necessary knowledge to be able to compute numerical models of planetary and exoplanetary atmospheres and their emergent spectra. They will have obtained detailed understanding about the structure and evolution of the Earth’s atmosphere as well as the structure and evolution of the atmospheres of other planets in our solar system and beyond.

Target group
PhD students and higher level master students in astronomy, physics, chemistry and biology. In particular the students associated to our multidisciplinary center for exolife (www.cels.nbi.ku.dk) are encouraged to actively follow this study group.
