Global Change Biology Edited by: Steve Long Print ISSN: Online ISSN: Frequency: Monthly Current Volume: 2002: 3/132 (Env Sci); 9/101 (Ecol); 2/20 (Biodiversity Cons) Impact Factor: Aims and Scope Global Change Biology exists to promote understanding of the interface between all aspects of current environmental change and biological systems, including rising tropospheric O3 and CO2 concentrations, climate change, loss of biodiversity, and eutrophication. Both biological responses and feedbacks to change are included, and may be considered at any level of organization from molecular to biome. Studies which integrate across levels of organization to provide a mechanistic understanding are particularly encouraged. Studies may be experimental, observational or theoretical, and may concern aquatic or terrestrial and managed or natural environments. GCB concentrates on primary research articles, but operates a flexible policy regarding other submissions, which include Technical Papers, Mini-Reviews and Opinion Articles.

Global Change Researchers Assess Projections of Climate Change Permission is hereby granted to journalists to use this material so long as credit is given, and to teachers to use this material in classrooms. Eric J. Barron, Chair, Forum on Climate Modeling, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park In October 1994 climate researchers met at the Forum on Global Change Modeling to create a consensus document summarizing the debate on issues related to the use of climate models to influence policy. The charge to the Forum was to develop a brief statement on the credibility of projections of climate change provided by General Circulation Models. The Forum focused specifically on the climate aspects of the entire global change issue, not on emission scenarios, the consequences of change to ecosystems and natural resource systems, or the socio-economic implications and potential for responses. The Forum report put thoughts on this often divisive issue into perspective for use by the Government Accounting Office in developing and considering national policy options. The forum was organized in response to requests from the White House Office of Science and Technology by the Subcommittee on Global Change Research, a branch of the new Committee on Earth and Natural Resources set up by the Clinton administration. The three-part report identifies conclusions of which researchers are virtually certain and gives the rationale for the consensus, lists statements concerning results of climate models ordered by degree of certainty, and suggests opportunities for early progress in reducing uncertainties.

The University of Michigan's Global Change Curriculum, part of the Program in the Environment , offers an innovative approach in undergraduate science and social science education. In interdisciplinary, team-taught courses the topic of Global Change from physical and human perspectives are examined, and case studies are used to explore scenarios for sustainability. Complementary small-group sessions are used to promote students' critical thinking and analysis. 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, with the three Global Change Courses at its core. Students learn further through the completion of 2 elective, campus-wide courses in bio-, geo- or sociosphere.

56. Human Dimensions Of Global Change DEVELOPING ACTIVE LEARNING MODULES ON THE HUMAN DIMENSIONS OF global change. Introductionto the Human Dimensions of global change Web Version. http://www.aag.org/HDGC/Hands_On.html

DEVELOPING ACTIVE LEARNING MODULES ON THE HUMAN DIMENSIONS OF GLOBAL CHANGE Where do these modules come from? T his project has developed ten teaching/learning modules through a collaborative process that involves module authors, participants in summer workshops, and project staff at Clark University. Designed for use in any introductory course that deals with human-environment relationships, the modules actively engage students in problem solving, challenge them to think critically, invite them to participate in the process of scientific inquiry, and involve them in cooperative learning. Brief descriptions of the modules follow. Each module consists of several units, each of which focuses on an aspect of the module's theme. The core of each unit is a variety of student activities that have been designed to be challenging but not baffling. The activities vary in type, in the time they require, in skill level assumed, and in the skills developed. They involve critical reading; data collection, assessment, interpretation, and analysis; map reading and interpretation; field trips; interviewing; role playing; and writing for particular audiences. Many activities link the student's own lives with processes of local, regional, and global change. Each unit comes with some background reading to introduce the topic. By engaging students in active inquiry, the module activities build student understanding of scientific method and of the interaction between science and policy, e.g., (1) the importance of specifying the assumptions underlying a model or an analytical approach; (2) how values affect assumptions; (3) how geographers use maps and other models to represent and analyze human-environment relations; (4) how geographers evaluate evidence about human-environment interactions; (5) how problems often have no single or easy answer and therefore how policy decisions usually involve weighing different and often conflicting kinds of evidence.

Global Change in Local Places Project Description The NASA funded "Global Change in Local Places" (GCLP) project links integrated studies of local places with global models of climate and ecosystem change to enhance scientific understanding of: The nature of anthropogenic environmental change The forces driving human-induced changes Opportunities to mitigate or adapt to such changes The theory and methods of integrated assessment GCLP's method for linking localities to global change is to estimate, for three study areas for the period 1970-2020, changes in greenhouse gases, aerosols, and land cover reflectance, in the human activities that produce them, and in the economic and social forces that drive those human activities. This first phase will analyze the three study areas shown on the map below.

59. USGS Learning Web :: Lesson Plans :: Global Change :: Introduction And Activitie The following activities are presented to assist in teaching these concepts of GlobalChange. Scientists study global change to help answer these questions. http://interactive2.usgs.gov/learningweb/teachers/globalchange.htm

TEXT VERSION Introduction and Activities 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?
