Learning Goals

The goals of the 2007 Summer Institute were:

  1. to provide background knowledge on global warming science and implications with a focus on the polar regions
  2. to provide an overview of the renewable energy landscape
  3. to provide tools and resources for implementing cross-disciplinary climate change curriculum in the classroom
  4. to createan opportunity for participants to design an action plan related to climate change solutions .

Context for Use

Teaching Notes and Tips

This long PowerPoint could be easily used as a whole or edited to suit a professor's needs. It includes a large amount of useful scientific graphs and images that might be extracted and used separately. It could be a very useful resource for professors looking for images explaining scientific processes that affect the climate, images of climate change evidence, and graphs showing possible consequences of climate change.

Assessment

Assessment is at the discretion of the educator.
