Biodiversity loss and Climate Change

I have a few resources that students may wish to borrow for photocopying (collect from B11)

Books - Climate: The force that shapes our world and the future of life on Earth and The rough guide to Climate Change: The symptoms, the science, the solutions. There is also a DVD - State of the Planet: Is there a crisis (BBC).

Here are a few online tools that can be useful for background understanding. A discussion document can be downloaded, click here


Watch the following videos on:
  • Background to how scientists identify warming and cooling events using SST (sea surface temperature) click here for resource
  • Case study looking at climate change and invasive species. Click here for resource
  • Exploring geological history and environmental conditions triggering mass extinction. Click here for resource
