Extractions: The Joint Global Change Research Institute houses an interdisciplinary team dedicated to understanding the problems of global climate change and their potential solutions. Joint Institute staff bring decades of experience and expertise to bear in science, technology, economics, and policy. One of the strengths of the Joint Institute is a network of domestic and international collaborators that encourages the development of global and equitable solutions to the climate change problem. Initiated in early 2001, the Joint Institute brings together the intersecting interests of Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and the University of Maryland . Staff at the Joint Institute are focused on developing new opportunities to train university students in these interdisciplinary areas.

The Global Change Curriculum At The University Of Michigan In interdisciplinary, teamtaught courses the topic of global change from A Minor in global change can be completed in the first few years of study, http://www.globalchange.umich.edu/
Extractions: The University of Michigan's Global Change Curriculum, part of the Program in the Environment , offers an innovative approach in undergraduate science and social science education. In interdisciplinary, team-taught courses the topic of Global Change from physical and human perspectives are examined, and case studies are used to explore scenarios for sustainability. Complementary small-group sessions are used to promote students' critical thinking and analysis. The courses are aimed at first and second year students who want to understand the historical and modern aspects of Global Change. These 4-credit courses include hands-on sections and carry NS or SS distribution credit. A Minor in Global Change can be completed in the first few years of study, with the three Global Change Courses at its core. Students learn further through the completion of 2 elective, campus-wide courses in bio-, geo- or sociosphere. Read the UM Global Change leaflet

Potential Effects Of Global Change On Bats Article by Michael A. Bogan, a Research Biologist of USGC, and Professor at University of New Mexico. Pictures, map, and resources included. http://geochange.er.usgs.gov/sw/impacts/biology/bats/
Extractions: and Research Professor of Biology, University of New Mexico Figure 1. Mexican big-eared bat Idionycteris phyllotis . Largely a forest dweller inhabiting caves in pine-oak forests. (Photograph by Dr. J. Scott Altenbach. Department of Biology, University of New Mexico) Other species of bats, especially in temperate zones, are insectivorous and collectively consume large quantities of insects. Just as pollinating activities of bats are important to plant ecology, the insectivorous food habits of bats play an important role in maintaining a balance among insect populations. Although studies of bats have demonstrated some flexibility in food habits over time, most species appear to be specialized to pursue and capture selected kinds or categories of insects. Furthermore, bats are dependent upon a reliable and consistent "supply" of prey, even though specific insect populations grow and disappear over the course of a summer season. Changes in worldwide insect population occurrence or distribution can be expected to affect numbers and species diversity of bats. Figure 2.
Extractions: TEXT VERSION The Earth is constantly changing. Weather and seasons are clear examples of regular changes in the global environment. Other changes are not as evident because they occur over intervals longer than a human lifetime or because the changes are not easily seen. Much of the change takes place on Earth is part of natural cycles. Human activity, however, can also cause environmental changes. The following activities are presented to assist in teaching these concepts of Global Change. Please consult The Teacher's Guide which explains how the activities are related to time, change, cycles, and Earth as home. From there, you can check out the following activities: Time and Cycles Change and Cycles Earth as Home People are being asked to limit activities that change the environment, but before sensible limits can be adopted, we need information. Questions include: What are current environmental conditions and how are they changing? Are environmental changes caused by natural variation or by human activity, or both? How will local changes affect other parts of the Earth and its systems?

Global Change At The National Academies global change Science at the National Academies. Our activities in the broad area of global change are overseen by a number of boards, http://dels.nas.edu/ccgc/
Extractions: The National Academies carry out a wide range of activities on issues related to global-scale changes in climate, land use and land cover, oceans and freshwater resources, atmospheric chemistry, and ecological systems resulting from natural variability or human influences, and the potential impacts of these changes on human systems and ecosystems. Our activities in the broad area of global change are overseen by a number of boards, standing committees, and other units from throughout the National Academies. This web site is designed to provide an overview of global-change activities from throughout the National Academies organized by major topical area. Click on any of the Topics to the right to see lists of related reports, upcoming meetings, ongoing activities, and selected links to other global change resources on the web. The fourth issue of the Climate and Global Change at the National Academies e-update is now available.
