CIESIN Resources (Word version: click
here)
CIESIN manages a number of web sites that
contain resources for earth and environmental science
teachers. This sheet is intended to provide a quick guide to
the most useful resources. If a site is for classroom use it
is indicated by (CR); if it is a teacher resource, it is
indicated by (T).
Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC) is a
NASA-funded center that provides on-line data sets,
interactive applications, and data discovery tools to help
bridge the gap between the earth and social science research
communities.
http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu
Gridded Population of the World (CR): Maps of the world’s
population neatly sliced and diced into 2.5’ x 2.5’ grid
cells.
http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/plue/gpw/
LandScan (CR): Similar to GPW above but on a smaller scale
(30" x 30") and using different source data.
http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/plue/gpw/landscan/
US and US-Mexico Demographic Data Viewers (CR): Teach students
about mapping techniques while they learn interesting facts
about population size and composition.
http://plue.sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/plue/ddviewer
(for US-Mexico add: /ddv30-USMEX/)
Environmental Treaties and Resource Indicators (CR/T): Use
this on-line guide to learn more about the importance of
environmental treaties, which countries are signatory to which
treaties, and to access complete treaty texts.
http://sedac.ciesin.columbia.edu/entri/
Thematic Guides (CR/T): On-line guides to global change topics
such as population projections, climate change and
agriculture, land use change, climate modeling, human health,
ozone depletion, and remote sensing.
http://www.ciesin.columbia.edu/TG/thematic-home.html
Global Change Research and Information Office (GCRIO) serves
as the information dissemination arm of the US Global Change
Research Program. It contains numerous on-line publications
and links related to global environmental change and impacts
on the US.
http://www.gcrio.org
Ask Doctor Global Change (T): Helps researchers, educators,
decision makers and the public find global change data and
information. This site features a searchable database of
previously asked questions, and allows users to submit
original queries.
http://www.gcrio.org/ask-doctor.html
Metropolitan East Coast Assessment (MEC) presents the results
of the New York metropolitan area assessment of vulnerability
to climate change, a part of the US National Assessment
process. This site contains useful maps and materials,
bringing climate change “down to earth” for students and
teachers.
http://metroeast_climate.ciesin.columbia.edu/
The MEC Educators Module (T): package of GIS software,
datasets and lesson plans designed for educators who are
interested in using GIS technology to explore global climate
change issues.
http://metroeast_climate.ciesin.columbia.edu/edumod.html
Environmental Sustainability Index (ESI) is a project of the
World Economic Forum in collaboration with CIESIN and the Yale
Center for Environmental Law and Policy. This site provides
access to the ESI report, the data sets, and an interactive
version of the ESI that allows students to choose their own
weightings of the factors that comprise the sustainability,
thereby creating a customized index.
http://www.ciesin.columbia.edu/indicators/ESI/
Population-Environment Research Network is a project of the
International Human Dimensions Program and the International
Union for the Scientific Study of Population. This site
contains cyber seminars, bibliographic resources, downloadable
research monographs, and other information on this exciting
interdisciplinary field.
