Recent evidence suggests that detritus from fishes and gelatinous zooplankton may have a disproportionate impact on the ocean’s biological pump because they sink approximately 10 times faster than bulk detritus.

A new climate-projection project that will spotlight extreme sea level events along the U.S. East Coast, zeroing in on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation as a key player in influencing mean sea level variations and weather events.

New research evaluates how changing climate may affect fish catch, fish distributions, and food web structure in the upper 600 meters of the ocean.

A newly published dataset provides insights into the oceanographic conditions within the Olympic Coast National Marine Sanctuary (OCNMS) over nearly two decades, shedding light on marine heat waves, seasonal upwelling, hypoxia, and ocean acidification.

After a brief respite, the stratospheric polar vortex is expected to weaken again, and another major sudden stratospheric warming could be on the way.

In this interactive game, students solve the challenges that their community faces during the course of an extreme flooding event by using available individual and community resources. Students work in three zone response teams to determine the responses they will take in each round as the flood situation evolves.

This is a static image created in ArcGis from the Livelihoods Knowledge Exchange Network non-profit that juxtaposes the risk of 18 natural hazards (as defined by Federal Emergency Management Agency) with the areas of state and federally recognized tribes in the USA.

This resource utilizes an easy-to-use tool to discuss energy justice and household energy burdens. The lesson plan covers a variety of different topics that discus the complexity of energy use and socioeconomics. It is hands on while using the tool, yet also includes discussion based activities and several extensional activities that can engage students in different ways of learning.

This activity engages students through an exploration using real data of paleoclimate proxies, such as ice cores, tree rings, and sedimentary analysis that provide evidence for past climates.

In this 45-60 minute high-stakes board game, everyone wins or everyone loses. As they play, groups of three to four children ages 8 to 13 build an understanding of how human actions impact global change. As teams, children play a game in which chance and choice determine the fate of a lone polar bear on an ice floe.
