Teacher Workshop on Climate Literacy and Earth Data Tools
With support from NOAA, the Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS) organized a teacher workshop at the Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) summer meeting in Santa Fe 12-13 July 2011. The workshop had an overall theme of Earth science education with an integral strand dedicated to climate literacy.
Along with sessions on climate change science, climate resources, and ways to effectively communicate climate change, educators could choose from several breakout sessions demonstrating ways that Earth science data can be used in science classrooms.
Margaret Mooney (CIMSS/SSEC), Patricia Huff (NOAA NESDIS), and Angela Sallis (NOAA NODC).
The breakout sessions were led by ESIP members from NOAA, NASA, EPA and several Universities from around the country. CIMSS presenters included Margaret Mooney and Tommy Jasmin.
