  1. P. Brown J. Wellington L. Thompson D. Hodell Teaching with Real Data: Paleoclimatology Resources for Teachers (and other NOAA resources) Connie Woodhouse National Climate Data Center, Boulder CO Teaching Climate Change: Lessons from the Past 2006 Workshop Montana State University, Bozeman Mt

  2. OVERVIEW • NOAA Education Policy and Resources • Paleoclimatology Resources from the National Climatic Data Center, Paleoclimatology Branch • Other Climate Change Resources from the National Climatic Data Center Photo from NASA

  3. NOAA and Education From the NOAA Education Policy At NOAA, education means a process of engaging external audiences to build knowledge on topics relevant to the world’s atmosphere, climate, oceans, and coastal ecosystems in order to achieve greater environmental literacy, personal safety, and an improved economy.

  9. GLOBAL WARMING Currently under revision

  10. ABRUPT CLIMATE CHANGE

  11. NORTH AMERICAN DROUGHT

  12. DATASETS AND TOOLS FOR DISPLAY AND ANALYSIS

  13. The each of the main paleoclimatic proxy types have a search engine and graphical interface to search for and download data

  14. CLIMATE RECONSTRUCTIONS • Global, hemispheric, local • from a variety of proxy data • air temperature • precipitation • drought • streamflow • atmospheric circulation (e.g., ENSO) • sea surface temperatures • others • SOME OF THESE HAVE VISUALIZATION TOOLS

  15. Gridded Network of Summer Drought Reconstructions tools for spatial and temporal display From Cook et al. 2004

  16. Gridded Network of Summer Temperature Reconstructions for Western North America: a tool for visualization From Briffa et al. 1992

  17. Colorado Streamflow Reconstructed from Tree Rings for Water Resource Managers, soon to be expanded to other areas of the western US

  18. NCDC CLIMATE CHANGE RESOURCES Includes links to the Climate Monitoring page with State of the Climate Reports, references on Climate Trends and Extreme Events, Indices of Climatic Change for the US, Global Warming FAQ, and links to various climate databases. http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/climateextremes.html
