Climate change makes seas rise faster and faster. This is the fifth in a 10-part series about the ongoing global impacts of climate change.

Climate change makes seas rise faster and faster

These stories will look at the current effects of a changing planet, what the emerging science suggests is behind those changes and what we all can do to adapt to them. Newtok, Alaska, sits on a treeless, grassy plain near where the Ningliq River meets the Bering Sea. Home to 450 Yup'ik Eskimos, Newtok is not an old place. Most families have lived there only since the 1960s. The federal government built a school there back in 1958 as a way to encourage people to move to this village from surrounding areas. A storm in October 2017 eroded away more of the shoreline here, in Newtok, Alaska, near the Bering Sea.

Courtesy of the Denali Commission Now “their roots are ingrained in this little village,” says resident Romy Cadiente. But climate change has put Newtok in danger. As the landfill and sewage lagoon have eroded, people here can no longer dispose of their trash. How climate change affects sea levels. Inspiring Learning Everywhere. NSDL.

We've scoured dozens of educational project websites hosted by SERC to find the activities and resources of highest interest to K-12 educators. On this site, there are hundreds of classroom activities organized by grade level and topic as well as guidance on effective teaching. Many of these resources were expressly developed with a K-12 audience in mind. Others can be adapted to K-12 classrooms even though they were originally developed with a college audience in mind.

Thandi This beautiful female leopard was born at the end of 2006 and is littermate to her sister, Shadow.

Sadly it is believed that Shadow has passed on. Traditionally Thandi has occupied territory to the east of Djuma, but since her mother, Karula, disappeared Thandi has begun to move further to the west. To date she has raised four cubs successfully to independence, Wabayiza, Bahuti, Kuchava and Thamba. Currently she is doing a fine job of raising her new young female cub Tlalamba.
