In this talk, Dr. Kate Moran, Chief Executive Officer at ONC, introduced greenhouse gases and the greenhouse effect, explained climate forcing, compared Earth's ancient climate with today's, and discussed ways humanity can both mitigate and adapt to climate change.

This series of web pages introduces climate science in a sequence that illustrates different aspects of the climate system. Natural and human influences on climate are presented here, as well as the effects of interactions between parts of Earth's systems. Special emphasis is placed on the methods that scientists use to study the climate and make predictions about future impacts, as this is a topic that is sometimes misunderstood. The overarching Guiding Principle states that humans can take actions to reduce climate change and its impacts, which is a key part of teaching climate science.

Seagrass ecosystems are hugely important for the Bahamas for so many reasons! Watch this interesting lecture from Forfar Field Station Educational Staff on Andros Bahamas as they explain why this is an invaluable ecosystem and outline the research project undertaken at Forfar with the Smithsonian to help preserve Seagrass meadows.

Human impacts on the climate system are becoming increasingly evident, moving climate change from a topic that is abstract and faraway to one that is right before our eyes. It's our job to help students learn about our role in altering the climate, but it's important to do so in a way that's constructive and solutions-oriented. Educational materials from the CLEAN collection can help you navigate this essential topic. Presenter: Karin Kirk, Geologist and Science Writer.

Abrahm Lustgarten's work, The Great Climate Migration, uses both individual human stories and data modeling tell the story of how climate change has already begun forcing people to flee their homes, and how it is likely to cause unprecedented levels of human migration... 'If you look at any issue through the lens of climate change, you can start to see its fingerprint,' he said. 'A larger takeaway is that this is the kind of issue that starts to show the real human impact of climate change, rather than looking at the science and debating facts and figures.'

This document is intended to empower tribal governments, federal and state agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), individual landowners and others to incorporate Anishinaabeg perspectives, specifically from the Great Lakes region, into a climate adaptation framework. We recognize the shortcomings of this document in our attempt to incorporate indigenous concepts, language, and cultural practices; a single document written in English can't fully capture what we intend to express.

These are the lecture videos from the free UBC course Climate Literacy: Navigating Climate Change Conversations, which tackles the scientific and socio-political dimensions of climate change. This course introduces the basics of the climate system, models and predictions, human and natural impacts, mitigative and adaptive responses, and the evolution of climate policy.

After summarizing the latest findings about American public opinion on climate change, this webinar will provide practical insight and actionable guidance for understanding your audience's relationship to the issue, determining the right climate or renewables messages to use, finding the best community members to work with to best disseminate your message, and more.

Climate change is challenging because of the controversial and value-laden issues and misperceptions that swirl around it. Some of the research papers used community projects and deliberative discussions to help students deeply understand the issues and build skills for working toward solutions. This webinar will briefly explain the review process and focus on the key themes that might help educators emphasize valuable and effective strategies in their climate change programs.

Through a combination of long-term monitoring and computer simulations, this research explores the sensitivity of tidal marsh habitat to both short-term climate variation and long-term change and provide land managers the information needed to guide resource management and restoration practices. In this webinar, Southwest CASC supported researcher Kevin Buffington discusses how climate change may affect El Nino events and extreme storms on coastal wetlands.
