Targeting middle and high school teachers, this six-day institute is sited at an outdoor school 10 minutes from the Wawona entrance to Yosemite National Park. The curriculum explores the region's ecology, climate, and geology, and links global issues with California's natural ecosystems and human populations.


As a participating teacher, you will:
* Conduct altitudinal studies to assess recent climatic impacts
* Visit Yosemite glaciers to learn about the changing hydrology of the Sierra
* Explore ecosystem effects of climate change (snowpack models, river dynamics, fire regimes)
* Conduct field investigations on resilience of plant-animal communities
* Address human-caused climate change, mitigation, and solutions
* Interact with UC researchers working on climate change in the Sierra
* Learn scientific journaling! and receive up-to-the-minute resource materials
