Author Description

To better appreciate Earth’s climate, the driving agents must firstly be understood, which the AMS Conceptual Energy Model aptly demonstrates in Investigation 1B (Follow the Energy!). This simple model allows the learner to explore how a planet a. loses energy in the absence of an atmosphere, and b. retains energy in the presence of single- and multi-layered atmospheres (such as those created by greenhouse gases). A point is made to reference organizations related to climate and climate change research. NASA and NOAA/Climate Prediction Center data is utilized frequently, for instance in describing El Niño and La Niña events. Information from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s latest report is used in investigations that involve interpretation of surface temperature trends and potential impacts. Other interactive topics covered are inter-annual climate variability phenomena, coastal impacts, paleoclimatic events, a case study on rising temperatures and rice cultivation, and many more. For teachers, students, and enthusiasts, Climate Studies Investigations Manual is an ideal way to become climate literate.
