Climate is an ideal interdisciplinary theme for learning about the scientific process
and the ways in which humans affect and are affected by the Earth’s systems. Scientific
observations and climate model results that human activities are now the primary
cause of most of the ongoing increase in Earth’s globally averaged surface temperature.
Climate change will bring economic and environmental challenges as well as opportunities,
and citizens who have an understanding of climate science will be better prepared
to respond to both.
NASA, NOAA, Sally Ride Science, U.S. Forestry and UCAR are collaborating with NSTA
to provide a web seminar series and symposia about climate science and the impacts
of climate change. Presenters are well-respected scientists and educators. Each
web seminar is a unique, stand-alone, program. Archives of these web seminars and
the presenters’ PowerPoint presentations will be available on this web page.
