Extractions: TEXT VERSION The Earth is constantly changing. Weather and seasons are clear examples of regular changes in the global environment. Other changes are not as evident because they occur over intervals longer than a human lifetime or because the changes are not easily seen. Much of the change takes place on Earth is part of natural cycles. Human activity, however, can also cause environmental changes. The following activities are presented to assist in teaching these concepts of Global Change. Please consult The Teacher's Guide which explains how the activities are related to time, change, cycles, and Earth as home. From there, you can check out the following activities: Time and Cycles Change and Cycles Earth as Home People are being asked to limit activities that change the environment, but before sensible limits can be adopted, we need information. Questions include: What are current environmental conditions and how are they changing? Are environmental changes caused by natural variation or by human activity, or both? How will local changes affect other parts of the Earth and its systems?

The Global Change Curriculum At The University Of Michigan The University of Michigan's global change Curriculum offers an innovative approachin undergraduate science and social science education as part of the http://www.globalchange.umich.edu/
Extractions: The University of Michigan's Global Change Curriculum offers an innovative approach in undergraduate science and social science education as part of the Program in the Environment . In three interdisciplinary, team-taught courses the topic of Global Change from physical and human perspectives are examined, and case studies are used to explore conditions for sustainability. The courses are aimed at first and second year students who want to understand the historical and modern aspects of Global Change. These 4-credit courses include hands-on sections and carry NS or SS distribution credit. A Minor in Global Change can be completed in the first few years of study. The three Global Change Courses are its required core and students learn further through the completion of 2 elective, campus-wide courses. Read the UM Global Change leaflet

Extractions: Pacific Institute, 654 13th Street, Preservation Park, Oakland, CA 94612, U.S.A. A series of major problems with international implications has recently come to dominate the discussion in the last few years over the environment. These include global climatic change, ozone depletion, deforestation, and extinction of species. Growing efforts have been made by parts of the international community to understand and address these problems, and to develop long-term sustainable solutions. The Institute has long had a role in both research and policy on issues of global change because these problems lie precisely at the intersection of concerns over the environment, economic development, and international security. Beginning in the late 1980s, the Institute has pursued research on the regional implications of climate change for water resources and on developing estimates of greenhouse gas emissions under different circumstances. In the mid-1990s we completed a major assessment of the possible implications of climate change for the Colorado River basin, and held a series of workshops for policymakers and scientists throughout the western U.S. In 1996, the Pacific Institute began publishing a major research and policy newsletter on global change issues, Global Change Magazine . In 1997, we helped organize three workshops in developing countries to explore issues related to technology transfer and climate impacts. In 1998, we joined the effort to develop a National Assessment of the Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change.

Research Unit Sustainability and global change ForschungsstelleNachhaltige Umweltentwicklung. Centre for Marine and Climate http://www.uni-hamburg.de/Wiss/FB/15/Sustainability/
Extractions: The research unit Sustainability and Global Change is devoted to multi-disciplinary research and education on human-induced environmental change that is either global in nature or pervasive across the world. Our research aims to further the understanding of sustainable development and its constituents environmental quality, economic efficiency and social equity. We seek to cross-fertilise disciplines by building bridges between the natural and social sciences. staff offers courses in the economics of environmental resource management to both students of economics and students of other disciplines. Research and education are organised in a number of cooperative networks The Research unit is financially supported by the Michael Otto Foundation for Environmental Protection , the EU DG Research , the Hamburg Ministry for Science and Research , the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research , the Volkswagen Foundation , the Zeit Foundation and the Max Planck Society Semiannual Reports

Extractions: Welcome to the Environment and Sustainable Development action for "Global Change, Climate and Biodiversity" Generic activities: natural and technological hazards and earth observation technologies European network for research into global change The aim of the Key Action on Global Change, Climate and Biodiversity under the Environment Programme of the Directorate General for Research is to develop the scientific, technological and socio-economic basis and tools necessary for the study and understanding of changes in the environment. It emphasises global and regional environmental problems that may have a significant impact on Europe, such as climate change, ozone depletion, biodiversity loss or loss of habitats and fertile land. Priority is given to issues covered by international treaties or conventions where the European Community or its Member States are signatories. Integration and synthesis across global change problems are receiving particular attention. Since the start of the European Commission's Environment Programme under the 5th Framework Programme (1998-2002), the research covered by this Key Action has brought about significant improvement in our understanding of causes and trends in Global Change, Climate and Biodiversity. This Key Action covers a range of research projects which are providing an input to international research programmes. They also help to underpin EU policies related to environmental conventions and treaties such as Kyoto Protocol, Montreal Protocol, Convention on Biological Diversity, Desertification Convention and the Air Pollution Convention.
