Climate Change Web Seminar Series

Climate is an ideal interdisciplinary theme for learning about the scientific process and the ways in which humans affect and are affected by the Earth’s systems. Scientific observations and climate model results that human activities are now the primary cause of most of the ongoing increase in Earth’s globally averaged surface temperature. Climate change will bring economic and environmental challenges as well as opportunities, and citizens who have an understanding of climate science will be better prepared to respond to both.

NASA, NOAA, Sally Ride Science, U.S. Forestry and UCAR are collaborating with NSTA to provide a web seminar series and symposia about climate science and the impacts of climate change. Presenters are well-respected scientists and educators. Each web seminar is a unique, stand-alone, program.

To learn more about the series or an upcoming seminar, or to register to participate in a seminar, please visit the series webpage at http://learningcenter.nsta.org/products/symposia_seminars/fall09/NOAA/webseminar.aspx.
