Google Earth & Climate Change Education

The University of Wales Newport have produced a learning resource exploring the impact of climate change. http://admin.rsc-wales.ac.uk/news/show_story.asp?nid=336 It aims to help educationalists and climate change activists use Google Earth to explore the impact of climate change on a global scale and it should be of use to teachers and students alike.

This e-publication provides a case study that employs Google Earth in examining climate change impacts and sustainable development issues in North Africa. Click the link below to access it.

NASA Climate Time Machine

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Lab have created a climate time machine that makes it easier to chart the changes in climate without all the graphs and charts. The Time Machine covers four climate indices: temperature, CO2 emissions, polar ice and sea level.

You  can drag the timeline to show the  changes in the Artic sea ice minimum from 1979 – 2007 or how the Earths temperature has varied between 1885 and 2007. The Climate Time Machine is part of the Global Climate Change website, which is full of excellent information.
