This high quality 10 minute video explores concepts of climate vulnerability to livelihoods, mental health, and agency of Indigenous Inuit people in northern Labrador, Canada through interviews with community leaders.

In this activity, students explore resilience toolkits to better understand their value. Students then draw upon these toolkits to design a resilience plan for their school campus as the culminating task of the larger Project Resilience.

Students use primary resources to investigate three case studies of environmental change, including how the combined effects of sea level rise and sinking land are projected to impact the Louisiana coast this century, how hurricanes affect the coast, and how fisheries are impacted due to environmental change.

This module introduces students to the basics of the hydrologic cycle in a way that engages them with both societal challenges related to water and methods for measuring the water system. In the final exercise, students are able to investigate water resources in a region of interest to them.

In this activity, students interpret geodetic data from Greenland to assess spatial patterns and magnitudes of ice mass change and consider mechanisms and timescales for ice mass loss. They also investigate the relationship between ice mass change and global and regional sea level with an emphasis on the ongoing and future implications of sea level change on civilization, including places in the Global South and the differing abilities of countries to tackle these changes.

This 10 minute video describes the influence of global warming on climate-related feedback loops. This video uses expert scientists and graphical illustrations to describe the importance of arctic reflectivity, or albedo, in regulating the global climate. The video indicates that a loss of this reflectivity is resulting in a reduction of sea-ice, which influences extreme climate conditions.

This video describes the influence of global warming on the water vapor feedback loop and weather pattern frequency/intensity by using expert scientists and graphical illustrations.

This lesson is the fifth and final module in the climate change curricula from the National Center for Science Education. It aims to teach students about the economic, social, and scientific implications of climate change while highlighting the usefulness of citizen science participation.

This is a demonstration that includes a review of scientific abstracts that show how warm water currents speed up ice sheet loss and sub-ice water infiltration into the Southern Ocean.

An activity focusing on black carbon. This activity explores the impacts of the use of black carbon generating wood, dung, and charcoal for fuel in developing countries.
