It is increasingly well understood and publicised that human-generated carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is having an effect on our climate. However, not all of the CO2 released into the atmosphere stays there. In fact, about a quarter of it is absorbed into our oceans. …
Most Earth observation satellites are designed for a specific purpose. This has an impact on the design of the sensors, particularly the wavelength(s) of radiation they respond to, and the orbit of the satellite. Many satellites are platforms for several different sensors and, if that…
Humans monitor animals for a range of different reasons, such as identifying how large or dense their populations are and ways to ensure we can protect them and their habitats. Over the years, scientists have used techniques such as identifying animal tracks, setting up cameras…
Satellites have the ability to track marine animals around the world if we tag them with Global Positioning System (GPS) attachments. As marine animals spent a lot of their time underwater, opportunities for humans on land to observe and monitor them can be quite limited….
This project involved professional storytellers and a climate change researcher facilitating young people in developing storytelling performances that communicate lived experiences of climate adaptation from around the world. We worked with young people of working class and ethnic minority backgrounds from West Yorkshire, whose voices…
This is a handbook for students that focuses on providing resources for coping with climate grief and eco-anxiety, demonstrating accessible facts about climate science, and equipping young people with the tools they need to take action in order to make change. Home
How the Tech Community is Combating Climate Change + Free Resources and GitHub Projects According to an article from Time magazine, 2020 was the year of climate extremes. Numerous research studies have shown that many of the natural events that occurred in 2020 would not have…
Using tree rings to teach weather, climate, correlation, photosynthesis, regression, the carbon cycle, isotopes and more. Visit the Metlink website to access the teaching resources and the online tree ring counting game. Made in collaboration with NERC
We have a collection of short videos online where watchers are encouraged and how to do a mini activity/experiment with a geology theme. The first video in the series, Storm in a Teacup, examines how changes in the climate across the time can been seen…
The Climate through time poster and online map illustrates the links between our planet’s changing climate and the different rocks that formed as environmental conditions varied through geological time. Earth’s climate has changed throughout the billions of years of our planet’s geological history. Evidence for past…
