This site provides animations useful for teaching about global cooling and the way glaciation originates. Visualizations illustrate and explain the effects of Milankovitch Cycles and fluctuations in atmospheric carbon dioxide leading to "Snowball Earth" conditions. Resources may be incorporated into lectures, labs, or other activities.

The
intended
use
of
this
web
page
is
for
collaborative
development
of
lesson
plans.
Several
atmospheric
science
lesson
plans
and
visualizations
are
available
from
this
site.
Examples
of
some
of
the
topics
are
a
snowflake
model,
weather
balloons,
a
radiation
budget
model,
and
drawing
contour
plots.
Many
of
the
visualizations
are
interactive,
so
the
user
may
vary
the
conditions
and

This
project
seeks
to
understand
the
long-term
interaction
of
humans,
their
culture(s)
and
their
environment
in
southwestern
Colorado,
USA,
from
A.D.
600-1300.
The
research
employs
agent-based
simulation
to
examine
various
models
for
how
farmers
locate
themselves
and
use
resources
on
this
landscape.
Agent-based
models
allow
researchers
from
many
disciplines
to
