See what the average winter and summer temperature is predicted to be in your town in 2050.

A detailed overview of the Earth's climate, with explanations about the difference between weather and climate, dendrochronology, palynology, and how Earth's climate has changed over time. All information is reinforced through pictures,...

See the current and past weather conditions of Alaska. Take a look at a webcam set up in Fairbanks, Alaska for current conditions.

People power is the key to accelerating renewable energy in our homes and throughout our country. By acting together, we can drive real change in Canada that results in cleaner air, healthier communities and sustainable energy systems.

In this brief video tutorial, atmospheric chemist Rachel Pike provides a glimpse of some of the methods that scientists are using today to study climate change and Earth's atmosphere. [4:14]

In this investigation, students will observe the weather and use weather terminology to document data in a science notebook. They will continue to observe and record their weather data throughout the year, looking for changes due to...

This site highlights new legislation in California which is designed to create new regulations that will reduce greenhouse gas emissions produced by cars and trucks. The background to this proposal gives a summary of the manner in which...

Discover how scientists use the BOREAS to gather data such as heat, carbon dioxide, water vapor, and more to see what role these levels have on climate changes.

This resource provides information on all of the aspects of global warming, climate change, and the future of the earth.

For this 3-part lesson, students explore California climate and factors that are leading to changes within this climate system. Students begin by exploring California's climate and the state's topography. Next, they investigate coastal...

Students learn about the remote sensing radio occultation technique and how engineers use it with GPS satellites to monitor and study the Earth's atmospheric activity. Students may be familiar with some everyday uses of GPS, but not as...

A weather unit designed to help the learners examine 3 factors to determine weather and climate: latitude, elevation, and nearness to large bodies of water.

Photos, diagrams, and other images related to climate and climate change.

Scientists study ice sheets because they influence weather and climate, playing a role in atmospheric and ocean circulation. Ice sheets can also have huge impacts on global sea levels because they store so much water. Explore this...

An all purpose site with something for everyone. Learn about global warming and climate change, ask a scientist, take a quiz, or get a lesson plan!

Use remote sensing data and background information to look at regional and global consequences of El Nino. Try working with the 'situation' to test your understanding.

Use this excellent site to search the volumes of material available at MBARI about the ocean and climate.

Wonderful site! Learn about climates and gather helpful information. When you are done, take the climates quiz to show what you have learned.

A lesson where students learn how warm water is less dense than cold water, and what this means for global climate change as ice from the polar regions melts. Students will do experiments in buoyancy and water density when hot or cold,...

"This web site provides information on world weather and climate conditions as well as global climate change with respect to mean sea level and terrestrial ecosystems."

This article discusses cycle of global weather patterns and its relation to El Nino. Learn how global weather patterns are being tracked by satellites and how scientists are predicting weather patterns up to a year in advance.
