ENGS 199.20: Decision Analysis for Wicked Climate Problems

This is the course website for the Fall 2025 edition of ENGS 199.20, Decision Analysis for Wicked Climate Problems, taught at Dartmouth College by Adam Pollack. This iteration of the website is a not-for-credit training/development trial of the course.

Course Information

• Details on the class and course policies are provided in the syllabus.
• Topics and weekly materials can be found in the schedule.

Software Tools

• This course will use the Python programming language. Python is free, open source, and popular (and your instructor can help you with it more than other languages). No prior knowledge of Python is required. My recommendation is to use Visual Studio Code for coding. If you use VS code, install the official Python extension and Jupyter extension. Please see this page for using Python effectively in VS Code.
