This activity is one of a series in the collection, The Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change activities.
This series of videos highlights how NASA Climate Scientists use mathematics to solve everyday problems. These educational videos to illustrate how math is used in satellite data analysis.
The Earth System Satellite Images, along with the Data Literacy Cubes, helps the learner identify patterns in a specific image.
Students analyze four data visualizations focused on the topic of sea level. They use a jigsaw method to explore and communicate their findings to their peers.
NASA visualizers take data – numbers, codes – and turn them into animations people can see and quickly understand.
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.
Students watch a short video to gather information about sources of methane emissions and then extend their understanding of these sources to evaluate monthly trends in the Alaska region, ultimately making connections to Earth’s energy budget.
Students will make a claim about whether changing albedo contributes to changes in Arctic habitats.
