Wind Dynamics and Forests
Changes in vegetation from human activity have led to significant climatic consequences. How does this happen, and what types of interactions are taking place? Students will set up a model forest to observe changes and their causes.

Erosion: Washing Away the Earth
Erosion can be a major issue. It is caused by a number of factors, both manmade and natural. The effects of erosion are very evident on Arctic coastal villages that are experiencing storm surges and no longer have the added protection of longer lasting sea ice. Research indicates that both the storm surges and lost of sea ice are the result of climate change.

The Missing Link: Food Webs on the Seward Peninsula
Every living creature is part of a bigger web. Each creature in a particular ecosystem (or area) is dependent on all the other creatures in that ecosystem in many different ways. When one piece of the web gets removed, the whole ecosystem is altered.

The Power of Water
Water shapes our everyday lives in many ways. We use it to cook. We use it to bathe. We depend on it for food. When it rains or storms it also affects our lives. Let's find out what role water plays in climate change!
