3 Overview NGSS Relevance Brief introduction to Earth System Science (ESS) Black Carbon Rising Seas Wrap-up
4 NGSS and Earth and Space Science The NGSS places significant emphasis on Earth and space science from a systems perspective ESS is particularly well-suited for demonstrating cross-cutting concepts, in addition to science and engineering practices Some associated disciplinary core ideas MS/HS-LS2 Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy and Dynamics MS/HS-ESS2 Earth s Systems MS/HS-ESS3 Earth and Human Activity
5 Examples of NGSS Relevance NGSS PE MS-ESS3.5: Ask questions to clarify evidence of the factors that have caused the rise in global temperatures over the past century. NGSS PE HS-ESS3.1: Construct an explanation based on evidence for how the availability of natural resources, occurrence of natural hazards, and changes in climate have influenced human activity. NGSS PE HS-ESS2-2: Analyze geoscience data to make the claim that one change to Earth s surface can create feedbacks that cause changes to other Earth systems. Science and Engineering Practices: Analyzing and Interpreting Data; Using Mathematics and Computational Thinking; Constructing Explanations Crosscutting Concepts: Cause and Effect; Systems and System Models; Stability and Change
6 When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe. John Muir My First Summer in the Sierra 1911
7 What is Earth System Science? John Muir was right! In the 1980s and 90s, geoscientists realized that studying the different parts of the Earth separately didn t work you can t really understand what is going on without looking at the whole system Earth System Science focuses on interactions among the different parts of the Earth system Processes and cycles Events
8 What is the Earth System? The atmosphere (Air) extends up from the Earth surface for several hundred kilometers. The biosphere (Life) is all living things, from single-celled bacteria to plants and animals. The geosphere (Land) includes all minerals, rocks, molten rock, sediments, and soils The hydrosphere (Water) includes the ocean, rivers, lakes, streams, groundwater, water vapor, ice, snow, glaciers, and sea ice. ( cryopsphere )
9 It all starts at the Sun!
10 Energy from the Sun is the ultimate source of almost all energy in the Earth system!
11 Black Carbon: A Dusty Situation Lesson Summary: Students investigate the climate effects of increasing amounts of black carbon on the absorption of solar radiation on the Earth's surface.
12 What s Happening?
13 Black Carbon: A Dusty Situation Lab Question: How does an increase in black carbon impact surface warming? 10% coverage 50% coverage 80% coverage
14 Black Carbon: A Dusty Situation
15 Rising Seas Activity In this activity, students will: analyze sea level data to identify the rate of sea level rise, make projections of sea level rise into the future, and interpret the impact of projected sea level rise on communities NGSS Performance Expectation HS ESS3-1 (see below) in the context of changes in sea level and impacts on populations

18 Key points Global mean sea level (GMSL) average global sea level corrected for vertical land motions and short and long term variability Tidal gauge measurements from global network Satellite altimetry Sea level is affected by several factors, including vertical land motion (subsidence, glacial rebound, tectonic motions) and change of the ocean level itself
19 Short to long term variability in Waves, tides Floods local sea level Seasonal weather patterns Atmosphere-ocean oscillations (like ENSO, PDO, etc.)
20 Affected by: GMSL Thermal expansion of the ocean water Addition of water from land based sources (glaciers, ice sheets) Melting sea ice does not increase sea level GMSL anomaly the difference between the GMSL at a given time and a reference GMSL (ie, the amount of change from a reference global mean sea level)
21 Figure 1 - Global mean sea level anomalies (in mm) determined from tidal gauge measurements by several authors, relative to the five-year average from
22 Figure 2 - Global mean sea level anomaly (in mm) from based on tidal gauge and satellite altimetry data, with seasonal variations removed and smoothed with a 60-day running mean.
