Student Activities for Climate Change:
1. Use [climate data website] to plot and interpret instrumental records of temperature on local, regional and global scales. Distinguish between long-term trends and variability.
2. Use PSML or NOAA websites to plot and interpret changes in sea level on local and global scales. Distinguish between long-term trends and variability.
3. Examine CO2 time series from Vostok (ice core), Law Dome (ice core), and Mauna Loa (instrumental). Identify long-term trends and discuss possible drivers. Compare with proxy temperature records from Vostok (deuterium-derived) and Marcott et al. (2013)
4. Relatively simple climate models that you can provide inputs, and it provides outputs…. But not what they wanted. They wanted to help students understand what a physically based model – Daisy world model. Possibly STELLA – energy based models – Insightmaker (web 2.0 version of stella)
5. Consult IPCC Synthesis Report, American Climate Prospectus, “Climate Change: Evidence and Causes” to identify projected changes in climate, including
