Earth & Environmental Sciences

Sustainable Seas, Please

Ocean ecosystems are dynamic and important for human livelihoods, thus need to be carefully managed.

Volunteer Activity - Alternative Science Facts

Ecology Mapping

Students will learn about some of the basic techniques of mapping ecological data and the roles of citizen scientists in ecological conservation.

Rethinking Energy

Rethinking Energy: A Climate Resilience Workshop

In this workshop, youth will consider the effects of climate change on oil infrastructure on a fictional island and reflect on the long-term changes to the island’s oil policies that are needed for sustainability by adopting multiple stakeholder perspectives.

Volunteer Activity - Alternative Science Facts

3D Printed Animal Tracks

Participants learn how to identify animals that may live in their environment using “signs”. Then, they will learn how photogrammetry can be used to scan and make digital models out of animal tracks found in nature so that they can be 3D printed.
