Pipeline in Paradise
Version: 1.0 Adapted From: A Pipeline in Paradise, Part 1: Learning the Relevant Science v1.0
Student were introduce to Pipeline in Paradise case study, they we divided in groups based on domains and they provided a recommendation to landowners. Marshall Islands
Version: 1.0 Adapted From: Tell Them We Don't Want to Leave: The Marshallese and Sea-Level Rise (2014-10) | SESYNC v1.0
Students received a short introduction about the history of Marshall Islands. They watch the video and were assigned readings. Students had to write a letter to the author of the poem. Online exercise: Managing Prairie Dogs for Ferret Reintroduction: A Case Study
Version: 1.0 Adapted From: Managing Prairie Dogs for Ferret Reintroduction v1.0
This data-driven ‘ferret reintroduction’ exercise, adapted from https://www.sesync.org/printpdf/2264, was developed for undergraduate students in an online non-majors biology course as a final small group project. Trinity-Marshall Island case
Version: 2.0
Trinity Washington University-Discovering Planet Earth (ENVS 101- An introductory science course designed for non-science majors, study "Marshall Island" case. Students are split into four groups and complete different assignments. Trinity Washington University-Discovering Planet Earth (ENVS 101- An introductory science course designed for non-science majors, study "A Pipeline in Paradise" case. Students were divided to four groups to study this case. Managing Prairie Dogs for Ferret Reintroduction: A Case Study in an online environment
Version: 1.0 Adapted From: Managing Prairie Dogs for Ferret Reintroduction v1.0
The case study Managing Prairie Dogs for Ferret Reintroduction was modified to be used in an online environment. This data-driven endangered sea turtle exercise adapted from http://qubeshub.org was developed for undergraduate students in an online non-majors biology course as a final small group project. Visualizing Global CO2 Emissions
Version: 1.0 Adapted From: Regulating Carbon Emissions v1.0
Using CO2 emissions data, students will learn how to visualize data with Tableau Public. The teaching materials are suitable for upper-level undergraduate courses on data analysis and research methods in Environmental Sciences and Studies. Sea Turtles- A Case Study
Version: 1.0 Adapted From: Globally endangered sea turtles of the Palmyra Atoll National Wildlife Refuge: A Focus on Scientific Analysis v1.0
The case study on sea turtles will allow students to think about field work and examine graphs to understand data. It will provide experience for non-majors environmental science classes to think about field work. A Pipeline in Paradise
Version: 1.0 Adapted From: A Pipeline in Paradise, Part 1: Learning the Relevant Science v1.0
I incorporated fracking into the case study instead of just focusing on building a pipeline, which allowed us to discuss fracking with this case study. Globally endangered sea turtles of the Palmyra Atoll National Wildlife Refuge: A Focus on Scientific Analysis
Version: 1.0 Adapted From: Globally endangered sea turtles of the Palmyra Atoll National Wildlife Refuge: A Focus on Scientific Analysis v1.0
Based on the sea turtle case, students will (1) work on a worksheet by analyzing existing survey data, (2) conduct a literature review of two relevant research, and (3) draft a proposal for a research project on sea turtle conservation at Palmyra.
