In this Data Puzzle, students will engage with an interactive reading before analyzing authentic datasets to discover how and why the number of megafires has changed over time

This recording captures the Feb. 21, 2024 Data Puzzle webinar focused on the Snow in the Rockies lesson in which students analyze snowfall and timing of snowmelt datasets from Colorado's East River Watershed and reflect on how changing snow conditions in Rocky Mountain watersheds like the East River Watershed might impact downstream water users (e.g., Colorado River water users). Please find the landing page and slide deck referred to in this recording below:

Declining water levels in two of the largest reservoirs in the United States, Lake Powell and Lake Mead, provide visible evidence for the ongoing megadrought (a period of extreme dryness that lasts for decades) in the Colorado River Basin. Scientists studying weather and climate in this region are analyzing temperature and precipitation patterns over time to determine the root cause of the ongoing megadrought.

In this Data Puzzle, students analyze and interpret authentic data to trace the amount and type (ocean algae vs. sea ice algae) of carbon-based fat in Arctic animals to determine whether the animal's diet is more dependent upon ocean algae or sea ice algae and ultimately make predictions about how Arctic organisms large and small may be impacted by the decline in sea ice.

In this Data Puzzle, students will engage with an interactive reading before analyzing authentic datasets to discover how and why the number of megafires has changed over time.

This recording captures the Jan. 31, 2024 Data Puzzle webinar focused on the To Reflect Or Not To Reflect lesson in which students analyze Arctic sea ice and albedo datasets to explore the Arctic amplification phenomenon.

In this filmmaking workshop lead by producer, script writer, videographer, and editor Dr. Ryan Vachon (Provare Media) attendees learned about crafting project mission statements, storyboards, camera and audio gear, and basic editing techniques.

Discover the intricate web of climate, drought, and climate change in the Southwestern US in this engaging 25-minute talk and 20-minute LIVE Q&A. Our seasoned climatologist, Russ Schumacher, will explore Colorado's climate, the significance of mountain snowpack, and the path of water to rivers. Uncover key climate metrics like temperature and precipitation and their impact on water resources. Explore the diverse nature of drought, its definitions, and its evolving face under the influence of climate change.

In this pre-summit event, experts will discuss how to support women and youth in climate action.
