The Continuous Renaissance of the Sahara
How has precipitation influenced the environmental change of the Sahara region?
Leatherback Sea Turtles
The issues treated throughout the investigation root from the eminent danger of global warming, and analyses of several aspects of it, such as the loss of the polar ice caps, coastline erosion, and the changes in precipitation indexes. Then, the project focuses on the consequences inflicted on leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys Coriacea) by the major changes on their environment.
Colombian Students Explore the Consequences of Climate Change Around the World
Since 2012, senior students at St. George’s School in BogotÌÁ, Colombia, have participated in a team project called ÛÏEarth Observation: Science From Another Perspective.Û This year’s 88 students, working together in 12 teams, researched questions related to climate, one of the nine Societal Benefit Areas.
‘Ecosystems Around the World’ is focus for Colombian Student Projects
Scientific posters on Ecosystems, one of the Societal Benefit Areas from the Global Earth Observation System of Systems, are featured here. The posters were created by high school-aged students at St. George’s School in Bogotá, Colombia, as part of a literature review project to identify an ecosystem somewhere in the world with a current problem that could be addressed through Earth observation tools and technology.
