Climate Change. Oh, IT's Real
"We still have a lot to learn about climate change, about why it's happening and what that means. But one thing is clear: It's real, alright. These talks provide a primer on the issue of our times. "
Earth, Appreciated
Our planet is a wonder, a perfectly improbable incubator for life. It’s also in danger because of our indifference. Reflections on both those truths.

Visualizing and Understanding the Science of Climate Change
A series of lessons providing interactive materials to help learners visualize and understand the science of climate change.
Global Science Investigator
"This is an animated interactive that displays, on a Global Viewer, NOAA datasets on hazards, ocean, and climate. User can visualize data on phenomena such as hurricanes, humpback whale migrations, carbon tracker, sea ice extent, IPCC scenarios on global warming."
Hydrologic Cycle: Online Meteorology Guide
The Hydrologic Cycle is part of the Meteorology Guide, and focuses on the circulation and conservation of the earth's water
Cyclone Center
Scientists and Volunteers Team Up to Solve Storms
Old Weather
"Help scientists recover Arctic and worldwide weather observations made by United States ships since the mid-19th century by transcribing ships' logs. These transcriptions will contribute to climate model projections and will improve our knowledge of past environmental conditions."

Reusable Maps from Climate.gov
