Surfing and Sea Level Rise

This resource allows your students to explore what impact sea level rise due to climate change would have on Sufing on the gold coast. It also makes good use of GIS with Google earth being used to model this. www.juicygeography.co.uk/sealevel.htm.

Have a look round Juicy Geography site, its a blog by geography teacher Noel Jenkins, sharing lots of free resources, he also writes Digital Geography . There are other great google earth resources, sustainability, geography resources like the wind farm location decision making exercise. This explains how students can use google earth to find a suitable windfarm location in their local area gives the criteria they can use to assess it. Students create their own placemarks and can then save them to a shared folder for peer assessment.

Happy Googling, Lucy
