Climate science encompasses a wide range of disciplines. Many areas within chemistry play essential roles in the study of climate, including the basic areas of analytical chemistry, biochemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and physical chemistry. This talk will identify the key applications of chemistry in climate research, and explain how they can be taught in courses at various levels in high school and college. How to integrate these chemical aspects into the full scope of climate science will also be an objective of the presentation, as will an explanation of the current level of understanding of each chemical area.<br/>
