This
is
the
web
page
for
a
research
project
that
is
investigating
the
role
of
climate,
biogeochemistry,
fire,
and
herbivory
in
controlling
savanna
structure
and
function
as
well
as
the
mechanisms
that
may
lead
to
savanna
stability.
This
website
includes
a
description
of
the
objectives
for
this
research
project
and
reports
on
specific
savannah
ecosystems
that
are
being

The
Visual
Geophysical
Exploration
Environment
(VGEE)
is
a
software
tool
that
is
specially
designed
to
help
learners
visualize
complex,
multi-dimensional
geophysical
phenomena
and
connect
those
visualizations
to
fundamental
physical
principles.
The
tool
works
with
actual
data
sets
of
The
El
Nino
Southern
Oscillation.
An
additional
data
set
of
mantle
convection
will
be
available
in
the
future.

Planetary
Forecaster
is
an
inquiry-based
science
curriculum
that
integrates
hands-on
lab
activities
with
the
use
of
technology
for
exploration
and
modeling.
In
this
curriculum,
students
explore
the
major
factors
leading
to
temperature
variation
around
the
globe,
and
then
use
what
they
learn
to
make
temperature
predictions
and
identify
the
habitable
areas
on
a
fictional,
newly
discovered
planet.

This
NSF
funded
biocomplexity
project
seeks
to
understand
the
complex
linkages
between
biogeochemical
cycles,
vegetation,
disturbance,
and
climate
across
the
full
summer
temperature
gradient
in
the
Arctic
in
order
to
better
predict
ecosystem
responses
to
changing
climate.
The
project
examines
the
complexity
associated
with
self-organization
in
frost-boil;
