Students observe seasonal images of Monthly Leaf Area, looking for any changes that are occurring throughout the year.
These six graphs show Ocean Chlorophyll Concentrations from 1998 - 2018 in a variety of locations: East Bering Sea, Gulf of Alaska, California Coast, Southeastern US/Gulf of Mexico, Northeastern US and the Scotian Shelf, and the Hawaiian Islands. Students will use the graph to determine how the chlorophyll values for these locations have changed over the last 20 years.
Students explore albedo, sea ice, and the relationship between changing albedo and changing sea ice using data visualizations.
