How does climate change affect the ocean and coastal ecosystems such as seagrasses, mangroves, and coastal wetlands? How do scientists use satellite data to study climate change? What is the connection between seagrass loss and carbon sequestration? This video + online course from the Center for Behavior and Climate builds upon the main concepts in the Just Have a Think video #93: Blue Carbon: An Invisible Time Bomb and goes beyond to include additional scientific and conservation concepts. One class period long. Students can work on the questions in small groups or individually.
