Description:
SEES consists of four modules on the following topics: 1) Stratospheric Ozone, 2) Global Land Vegetation, 3) Oceanography, and 4) Polar Sea Ice Processes. Each module contains background material for introducing and discussing these topics in the classroom and computer lab resources. The classroom resources are presented as online textbooks (modules 1 & 2) or lectures (modules 3 & 4). The computer lab materials contain public domain software for data display and analysis, tutorials, satellite data, and computer exercises for students. An Instructor's Guide accompanies each module's exercises.

After students have learned about the scientific topic, satellites, data, and how to analyze the data, they may continue on their own scientific discoveries by accessing archived and current data from various NASA Earth Science data centers.
