Results for BIO 128: Geographic Impacts of Climate Change: Mapping the Stories

Climate change imparts political, socioeconomic and ecological impacts worldwide, creating an urgent need for scientists to communicate with policy-makers. Students will collect data for a region of the US from multiple sources ranging from academic journals to popular media to create an interactive Story Map (http://storymaps.arcgis.com) that merges the scientific and human dimensions of climate change. Students will present this map to state and national policy-makers. Students enrolled in 3 credits will have an emphasis on engagement of community partners in addition to normal class participation.
