NOAA's
Paleoclimatology
Program
is
working
with
scientists
from
around
the
world
to
study
past
climate
in
hopes
of
achieving
a
better
understanding
of
the
Earth's
present
and
future
climate.
This
site
was
developed
to
help
educate,
inform
and
highlight
the
importance
of
paleoclimate
research;
as
well
as
to
show
how
paleoclimate
research
relates
to
global
warming
and
other
important
issues
of
climate

This
learning
unit
is
designed
to
present
a
means
to
examine
what
factors
influence
the
quality
of
water
in
the
Chesapeake
Bay:
population
increase,
algal
blooms,
endangered
species
(shad,
oysters
and
blue
crabs),
and
different
watersheds
(such
as
the
Susquehanna
River
Basin)
draining
into
the
Chesapeake
Bay
bringing
nutrients
and
pollution.
Students
work
in
groups
to

resource
in
the
Northwest.
All
segments
of
the
public
have
become
increasingly
concerned
with
the
costs
and
benefits
of
operating
hydroelectric
facilities.
Environmental
impacts,
operational
issues,
economic

The
Atmospheric
Radiation
Measurement
(ARM)
Program
is
an
important
part
of
the
U.S.
Department
of
Energy's
(DOE's)
strategy
to
understand
global
climate
change.
The
ARM
Program
has
established
three
outdoor
research
sites
around
the
world.
Scientists
gather
and
use
the
data
from
these
sites
to
study
the
effects
of
sunlight,
radiant
energy,
and
clouds
on
temperatures,
weather,
and
climate.

This
journal
article
discusses
how
exposing
creeks,
rivers,
and
stormwater
drainage
to
daylight
can
improve
water
quality
and
hydraulic
capacity.
Daylighting
projects
deliberately
expose
some
or
all
of
the
flow
of
a
previously
covered
drainage,
offering
the
potential
to
recreate
wetlands,
ponds,
and
estuaries,
and
ultimately
reducing
the
levels
of
organic
and
inorganic
pollutants
in
the

provides
an
overview
of
the
issues
surrounding
the
construction
of
the
Three
Gorges
Dam
across
the
Yangtze
River
in
China.
When
it
is
completed,
this
dam
will
produce
the
energy
of
15
nuclear
power
plants
and
tame
some
of
the
river's
deadliest
floods.
However,
it
is
also
the
subject
of
much
controversy.
Topics
include
the
loss
