This activity invites students to simulate and observe the different effects on sea level from melting sea-ice.
Students will watch a video on the Greenland Ice Sheet and answer questions.
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.
This lesson walks students through the use of Landsat false-color imagery and identification of different land cover features using these as models.
Test your knowledge of sea level rise and its effect on global populations.
In this activity, students will use sea-level rise data to create models and compare short-term trends to long-term trends. They will then determine whether sea-level rise is occurring based on the data.
For over 20 years, satellite instruments have measured the sea surface height of our ever-changing oceans. This video of images shows the complicated patterns of rising and falling ocean levels across the globe from 1993 to 2015.
