Survey
(USGS)
fact
sheet
discusses
the
geography
and
environmental
setting
of
Chesapeake
Bay,
the
largest
estuary
in
the
United
States.
Emphasis
is
on
the
effects
of
rapidly
rising
sea
level
within
the
bay,
as
seen
in
historic
maps,
personal
observations,
and
annual
mean
sea
level
data.
Other
topics
include
possible
reasons
for
the
sea
level
change
and

The
terms
greenhouse
effect,
climate
change,
and
global
warming
are
often
used
interchangeably,
yet
they
really
refer
to
three
separate
and
distinct
processes.
This
activity
examines
all
three
and
assesses
whether
Earth's
atmosphere
is
getting
warmer.
Students
will
read
two
articles
from
the
journal
of
Science
that
discuss
the
findings
of
the
Intergovernmental
Panel
on
Climate
Change
(IPCC)

Environmental
educators
in
many
states
are
finding
that
reform
efforts
are
constraining
the
time
they
have
to
prepare
and
teach
new
activities.
Therefore,
they
may
find
it
appropriate
to
develop
materials
that
address
environmental
education
(EE)
needs
as
well
as
augmenting
state
reform
goals.
This
study
provides
an
example
in
which
a

One
of
the
ways
in
which
universities
can
contribute
to
environmental
awareness
is
by
establishing
programs
to
ensure
that
all
graduates
are
environmentally
literate.
This
article
describes
a
case
in
which
a
module
for
business
students
on
environmental
management
at
the
University
of
Wales,
Swansea
was
developed
to
include
an
element
of
environmental
reviewing.

Traditional
evaluation
methods
have
been
deemed
ineffective
for
evaluating
environmental
education
(EE)
programs.
In
contrast,
ongoing,
participatory
evaluation
involving
local
stakeholders
in
problem
identification,
evaluation
design,
data
collection,
analysis,
and
use
of
results
was
found
to
provide
improved
and
more
useful
results.
