This resource, adapted from the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center, provides a graph of monthly average carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration from 1958 to 2000 at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii.
You will understand the different proposals for counteracting further climate disruption and you will assess their suitability. Listen to fragments of a news report and give your own opinion and conclusions.
This Museum of Paleontology web page discusses foraminifera (forams for short), which are shelled marine microorganisms. It includes what are forams, where they live, their significance (in relation to biostratigraphy, paleoecology, and oil exploration), and an image-rich section about foram classification.
The "New Climate Deal - A Pocket Guide" is a a handy all-in-one pocket guide to climate change, its impacts, the politics, the history, and the discussions at the UNFCCC negotiation process held in Copenhagen, Denmark December 2009.
While this guide was developed for Copenhagen it is stilll relevant for the next steps in our journey to secure a strong, fair and ambitious climate change agreement.

This National Climate Data Center collection features links to climate data derived from ocean records. These include CLIMAP (sea surface temperature reconstructions), SPECMAP (a reconstruction based on planktonic counts and isotopic values and age and sea surface temperature models), Relative sea level, Calcium carbonate, and Foraminifera (shelled marine microorganisms) data proxies.
SeaWifs 3 year data of the pulse of the planet, helps show the Carbon Build up in the air. For this presentation the Scientist wanted to show how the earth reacts to the chemicals in the air.
This module explains how to use Thermal Gravimetric Analysis to obtain information on the properties of SWNTs. It also includes examples on how to interpret the results given by TGA.
