Search strategy:
Try initial internet searches to get a broad understanding of the topic or question, especially if it is something you are unfamiliar with.
Look for websites that are intended for educational purposes (universities, foundations, government). I have listed some below. DO NOT just rely on the url (i.e. .com .org).
Wikipedia is OK for gaining broad knowledge on your topic and helping your springboard your research. You should not rely on as a cited source.
Databases (use simple keywords or browse)
Password helpWebsites:
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA.gov)
Climate.gov projected climate change for different parts of the world
National Geographic (this is a for profit but still well-known and respected)
