Professor

Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences

Since 1981, Prof. Toohey has taught courses in physics, chemistry, atmospheric sciences, and environmental sciences.  At the University of Colorado he most often teaches undergraduate courses in atmospheric and oceanic sciences and atmospheric chemistry (see links at left). During the 2006 Summer voyage of Semester at Sea, he taught courses in global ecology and biogeosciences.  During the 2011-2012 Academic year, he served as a Jefferson Science Fellow in the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs at the U.S. Department of State.  He advised the U.S. Senior Official for APEC on matters relating to energy, climate change, and green growth.  His experiences there led to the development of a new graduate class on "Climate Change, Energy, and Foreign Policy" which he is teaching for the first time  in Fall 2012 (see link at left).
