Research (NCAR) in Boulder, Colorado as the featured speaker for our 
December webinar.*

*This webinar takes a deep dive into the use of simple models in climate 
education. Dr. Russell will explore some fundamental concepts of climate 
science that allow students to use simple models to actively investigate 
the scientific concepts. He'll start with a basic calculation of the 
"theoretical" global average temperature of our home planet - first 
walking through the science and math behind the calculations, then using 
a simple computer-based model that allows students to explore multiple 
"what if" scenarios. Next, he'll look at the Greenhouse Effect's impact 
on global temperatures and present a physical model that illustrates the 
Greenhouse Effect and the layered structure of Earth's atmosphere. After 
that, Dr. Russell will present how some straightforward math connects 
anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions with future global temperatures - 
and then explore another computer-based simulation that allows students 
to test the impact of various emission scenarios on future global 
temperatures.**

Finally, Dr. Russell will take a look at an extensive online list of 
simulations, games, and virtual labs for climate education. Time 
permitting, he'll show some Greenhouse Effect simulations and a 
paleoclimate (tree rings) simulation.*
