The effects of global climate change on places, societies and environmental systems
Climate change and the hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere, including:
water stored in ice and oceans, and changing sea levels
carbon stored in ice, oceans and the biosphere
incidence and severity of extreme weather events, including drought
spatial changes in biomes, habitats and animal migration patterns
changes to agriculture, including crop yields, limits of cultivation, soil erosion
Impacts of climate change on people and places, including health hazards, migration and ocean transport routes
In the past 3 years students students have created websites to cover each section of the syllabus - Have a look at them and use them as a resource. We will also use them for the end of this session formative assessment.

consequences climate change.pdfSKM_C454e17112108260.pdfCodrington CC consequences.pdfCoffee Book - Main book - essential and most accessible.
Green Book - Good also. Easy to read. Nice pictures and case studies
Nerd Alert- Stephen Codrington - the most complete of sources.
Aims: To have knowledge of what the hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere are.
To understand how climate change impacts the stores of water in our oceans.
To understand how climate change impacts the stores of water in our ice.
To have knowledge of where carbon is stored and how that is changing.
To have knowledge of whether the incidence and severity of severe weather events has increased due to climate change.
Task - Download this Note taking framework.
Further Reading to add to your notes. - go to flipboard to find recent articles.- Essential to help get higher levels. Be evaluative - has there been an increase in severity and frequency? Do different places have different patterns.
KIALO Discussion - "Anthropogenic Climate change is leading to an increase in the frequency and severity of extreme weather events."
Aims - To have knowledge and understanding of the effects of climate change upon:
spatial changes in biomes and habitats
spatial changes in animal migration patterns
Changes to agriculture, including crop yields, limits of cultivation, soil erosion
Task: Download the note taking framework from this page and fill in.
Further Reading:
spatial changes in biomes and habitats
spatial changes in animal migration patterns
Would be useful to read:
Geonerds page on climate change and biosphere.
Changes to agriculture, including crop yields, limits of cultivation, soil erosion
Would be useful to read:
especially if you are doing the Food, Health and Disease unit fo HL - Geonerds page - Go over this student produced page on the effects of climate change on agriculture. Extra: - read all info, make notes and try the quiz at the bottom of the page.
Aims: To have knowledge and understanding of the Impacts of climate change on people and places, including health hazards, migration and ocean transport routes.
