Climate and the Cryosphere

A classroom/laboratory activity that introduces the relationship between climate and the cryosphere, explains how sea-level rise can be predicted (based on average global temperature change), and triggers a discussion on the potential impacts of sea-level rise.

  • Introduce the relationship between climate and the cryosphere, and the effect of increasing average global temperature on sea levels by conducting the classroom/laboratory activity,

    “Future of the Cryosphere: Sea Level Rise”

  • Discuss the impact of rising sea levels for a specific location.
