This video is part of the Data Lens professional learning series hosted by NOAA's Science on a Sphere. Middle school and high-school educators discover strategies for implementing data visualizations activities in your classroom.

This recording captures the Nov. 13, 2024 Data Puzzle webinar focused on the Wind Farms of the Future lesson in which students analyze mean wind speeds and land surface ‘roughness’ datasets to explore the best locations for wind farms.

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:

In this Data Puzzle, students engage with an interactive reading before analyzing and interpreting authentic datasets to discover that rising temperatures increase the reproductive success of moss campion up to a certain point, the tipping point, beyond which the plant's reproductive rates dramatically decline! The results of this study inspire many other interesting questions, What does this mean for the rest of the tundra ecosystem? And what other climate "tipping points" should we be aware of?

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.

Si te llaman la atención los eventos del tiempo como las tormentas eléctricas, los huracanes y los tornados, esta presentación es para ti. Arelis M. Rivera-Giboyeaux, meteoróloga del Departamento de Energía compartirá su experiencia en el campo de las ciencias atmosfericas. Aprenderemos qué es la meteorología, cual es la diferencia entre un meteorólogo y un climatólogo, y discutiremos las diferentes opciones de empleo que puede tener un meteorólogo - más allá de trabajar en la radio y televisión.

La candidata a doctorado Lina Pérez Angel presentará sobre paleoclimatología.

La candidata a doctorado Claudia Corona presentará sobre impactos de precipitación extrema bajo la superficie.

La Dra. Ríos-Berrios presentará su investigación sobre huracanes.

Dr. Rios-Berrios presented on her research on hurricanes and forecasting.
