In this exercise, students explore geographical variations in Earth's albedo, reflected solar radiation (short wave radiation), and Earth radiation (long wave radiation). Using datasets and the data viewer from the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE), they will study data from four months of the year (winter, spring, summer, and fall) to discover variations in albedo due to geographic location ...

These are the teaching notes for a case study in which students grapple with the issue of air pollution, specifically the causes and effects of haze and smog as ubiquitous, persistent air quality problems. In analyzing local conditions in one state, they will explore the wider environmental, political, social, and human health implications of air pollution. The case is designed to give students a ...

In this exercise, students investigate the use of coastal landforms from ancient shorelines in studying tectonic movements. Introductory materials explain how coastal landforms are classified on the basis of sediment supply and positions of the land relative to sea level, and describe the features of erosional coastal terraces. Using data on the coastal terraces of San Clemente Island, off the coast ... Full description.

This slide show discusses the probabilities and risks associated with earthquakes in general and presents an assessment of the risks, probabilities, and potential outcomes of a significant earthquake in the vicinity of New York City. Students will discover that even though the city has a moderate to low earthquake probability hazard, its large population, concentration of valuable assets, and the ... Full description.

This collection of animations shows episodic tremor and slip (slow earthquakes) from a subducting plate with locked, slow slip, and no slip zones. The first two show wood blocks being pulled over sandpaper to simulate buildup and release of strain in locked and slow slip zones of a subducting tectonic plate, and to simulate episodic movement of a subducting tectonic plate. Graphs display time versus ... Full description.

In this case study, students analyze and interpret graphical data on the effects of Pacific salmon on freshwater and riparian ecosystems, specifically on how spawning salmon act as nutrient conveyor belts, transporting nutrients from the ocean upstream into freshwater spawning areas and, in some cases, onto land. Students learn about the principles of biogeochemical cycling and gain an appreciation ... Full description.

This resource explains how to calculate the velocity boost needed to inject a Mars spaceship into the transfer orbit, and the arrival velocity at the orbit of Mars. One will be able to tell if the spaceship will be overtaking the planet or be overtaken by it and what the velocity mismatch between ship and planet will be. Full description.
