This lesson is designed to help students analyze the interaction between different cloud heights and Earth's incoming and outgoing energy.
Check out the Arctic and Earth SIGNs video to explore how climate models are used in climate change research.
The advance-and-retreat cycle of snow cover drastically changes the whiteness and brightness of Earth. Using two maps created using NASA satellite data for 2017, students review the seasonal differences of snow and ice extent and answer questions on their observations.
This mini lesson helps students visualize how the Hydrosphere and Cryosphere interact to produce changes in land and sea ice.
Students examine the two time series images to determine the differences between seasonal ice melt over water versus land.
The Earth System Satellite Images, along with the Data Literacy Cubes, helps the learner identify patterns in a specific image.
Students explore albedo, sea ice, and the relationship between changing albedo and changing sea ice using data visualizations.
In this activity, students use satellite images from the NASA Landsat team to quantify changes in glacier cover over time from 1986 to 2018.
The Earth System Satellite, help the learner visualize how different Earth system variables change over time. In this lesson, students will graph six points for a location over one year.
