Teaching about Complex Systems: The Nexus of Energy, Water, and Climate
Natanya Civjan, Hall, Mayhew
We have created an extensive resource library of articles and reports suitable for the high school to introductory college level on issues that surround the nexus of energy, water, and climate. The topic lends itself to rich discussions on complex systems about a critical issue facing society. There are three sections of the resource library: Focus on the Nexus includes resources that describe the interconnectivity of energy, water, and climate and resulting issues; The Big Picture contains reports that provide a broad overview on options to address society's energy needs, water resources supply and demand, and drivers of climate change; and The Nexus Today contains readings on key manifestations of the nexus. The resources have been chosen carefully to paint a full picture of the nexus, and to provide views and counterviews on related topics, such as the benefits of conventional and renewable energy technologies (e.g. coal, wind, solar, biofuels), unconventional water sources, and geoengineering. These readings can be mixed and matched to create thought-provoking and discussion-promoting experiences in undergraduate science courses with units on energy, water, and climate, or courses that teach about social, economic, and policy aspects of local or global nexus issues. Such learning materials, especially when used with opportunities for discussions, can promote critical thinking and problem-solving skills, argumentation and communication skills, and literacy in the breadth of energy, water, and climate issues affecting the world today. In addition to the Nexus Resource library, two educational card games dealing with nexus topics are available for play in class to complement the readings and to provide a structured opportunity to learn and cement nexus concepts. By combining the readings and game play, students will gain a better sense of the issues and impacts surrounding the nexus, and how individuals, governments, and societies all play a role in potential solutions.
