ClimProb's user friendly interface makes it easy for students to compare and interpret data and decide whether or not global warming is an actual phenomenon affecting our Earth system. It is particularly remarkable to look at precipitation data from around the Midwest during the Dust Bowl' period in the 1930's. The fall conference is an excellent professional development opportunity with workshops, speakers and concurrent sessions on a variety of science topics. Proposals are requested by May 15. The 10 most intriguing questions chosen by the judges will be answered in a letter from a NASA astronaut.
Students can also enter by email.
If the emailed entry makes it into the final stages of judging, you will be contacted to submit an official entry form.
