The Climate Change Research Center (CCRC) is devoted to the retrieval and interpretation of global change records that document climate, biogeochemical cycling, atmospheric chemistry, unique atmospheric phenomena (e.g. extreme events, volcanic events, biomassburning), and the influence of human activities on our environment.

The National Geographic Society's Geography Education Program has established a network of state geographic alliancesógrassroots organizations composed mainly of K-12 teachers and university geographersódedicated to improving and promoting geography education. These alliances support professional development for teachers, development of classroom materials, and efforts to make geography a part of state and local curricula.

The Institute for the Study of Earth, Oceans, and Space (EOS) at the University of New Hampshire is a multidisciplinary research institute devoted to the study of the planet Earth and its space environment. It provides graduate education with a particular emphasis placed upon interdisciplinary studies that contribute to understanding the global integrated behavior of the Earth and Earth-Sun system.

Almost all of the 50 states (and Puerto Rico) have an agency that deals with geological hazards and resources within its bounds. Some have more than one (e.g., one for petroleum resources, one for general geology, and one for water resources), and some have delegated the responsibilities to a unit within a state university. Most, but not all of these institutions are connected to the Internet. For all of these agencies, we've included snail mail addresses as well as known e-mail and Internet links.

The U.S. Geological Survey provides the Nation with reliable, impartial information to describe and understand the Earth.  Science topics are Biology, Geology, Mapping, and Water. The U.S. Geological Survey has offices in every state, thus providing a local presence and facilitating relations with the public and private sectors, academia, and federal, state, and local agencies. This widely distributed network of scientific personnel is a resource that provides a valuable and nationally consistent, long-term earth science information base.

A Fact Sheet at the following WWW site describes several of the USGS activities in New Hampshire: http://water.usgs.gov/pubs/FS/FS-029-96/

• American Meteorological Society (AMS) Project Atmosphere AERAs
• American Meteorological Society (AMS) Maury Project Peer Trainers
• The Gaia Crossroads Project
• The GLOBE Program
• NASA Education Resources

The American Meteorological Society's Project Atmosphere includes the operation of a national network of AMS Atmospheric Education Resource Agents (AERAs), who act as regional points of contact for teachers who are seeking information on atmospheric science topics.  Each AERA presents several general atmospheric sciences information sessions each year to teacher groups. AERAs also conduct teacher-training sessions on single meteorological topics about which they have been specially trained. These sessions often take place at local and state teacher association meetings. Others are held at the school district level on staff development days or included in college courses, with AERAs compensated through local or state funds.

Maury Project Peer Trainers are Master precollege teachers trained in one of the AMS Summer training workshops held at the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD, who have demonstrated an exceptional competency and commitment to the process of guiding fellow teachers in the field of precollege physical oceanographic education. These teachers conduct seminar/workshops on an on-going basis for their peers, within their respective teaching districts, using primarily single-topic teaching materials developed by AMS specifically for this purpose.

Using Satellite Imagery in the Classroom and Community
The Gaia Crossroads Project is a K-12 interdisciplinary program that uses satellite imagery in the classroom as a resource for learning. Students are given the same tools that scientists use, and they experience science as a process of disciplined inquiry.  The Gaia Crossroads Project provides teachers with training, tools, and technical support.  ("We are not writing a curriculum.")

Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) is a worldwide network of students, teachers, and scientists working together to study and understand the global environment.  GLOBE students make environmental observations at or near their schools and report their data through the Internet.
