Science for a Hungry World- Growing Water Problems

As Earth’s climate warms, incidences of extreme heat and humidity are rising, with significant consequences for ecosystems. Temperature is one of the three major influences on ecosystems. Along with available sunlight and water, temperature determines whether the land will support dense forests, grassland, or a nearly barren desert. Climate scientists are tracking heat stress that can warn us of harmful conditions. Explore interactive inquiry-based lessons and participate in a mini heat Island experiment.
