From Stargazers to Starships: Seasons of the Year
11.04.2007    

As part of a high school course on astronomy, Newtonian mechanics, and spaceflight by Dr. David P. Stern, this webpage chapter explores the link between the tilt of the Earth's axis to the ecliptic and seasons of the year -- length of day, effectiveness of sunlight, polar day and night, and seasons south and north of the equator, as well as near it.

Potential Effects of Amazon Deforestation on Tropical Climate
11.03.2007    

This report describes the results of a study in which climate modeling was used to examine the effects of deforestation in the Amazon basin. The study concluded that changes in land surface properties (loss of forest cover) cause changes in the mean surface wind stress in the tropical Pacific, which in turn results in increased variability of El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events.

Diffusion at Work: An Interactive Simulation
09.15.2007    

This hands-on Oceanography article describes an activity that helps students better understand the nonintuitive concept of diffusion and introduces them to a variety of diffusion-related processes in the ocean. As part of this activity, students also practice data collection and statistical analysis (e.g., average, variance, and probability distribution functions).
