PROGRAM ABSTRACT
The Carbon Research Collaborative will engage teachers and students in public schools across America in Action Research inquiries on the impact of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions on climate change, on Earth’s Biosphere and on human populations.
Using data from the Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO-2) and other NASA satellites teachers and students will:
Research outcomes will be displayed on Digital Video Globe (DVG) instructional technologies and on the Climate and Health ANalysis for Global Education Viewer (CHANGE Viewer) using NASA World Wind, and will be viewed worldwide by over 30 million people annually in hundreds of museums worldwide.
Our aim is to examine the potential of Action Research – teachers and students collaborating with the science research community – combined with the use of cutting-edge satellite infrastructure and DVG instructional technologies to:

The Carbon Research Collaborative will engage teachers and students in public schools across America in Action Research inquiries on the impact of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions on climate change, on Earth’s Biosphere and on human populations.
Using data from the Orbiting Carbon Observatory (OCO-2) and other NASA satellites teachers and students will:
- Measure global CO2 emissions from the world's megacities;
- Assess Earth’s capacity to sequester CO2 in the Biosphere; and
- Model the potential for negative socioeconomic and environmental impacts in their communities and across the globe.
Research outcomes will be displayed on Digital Video Globe (DVG) instructional technologies and on the Climate and Health ANalysis for Global Education Viewer (CHANGE Viewer) using NASA World Wind, and will be viewed worldwide by over 30 million people annually in hundreds of museums worldwide.
Our aim is to examine the potential of Action Research – teachers and students collaborating with the science research community – combined with the use of cutting-edge satellite infrastructure and DVG instructional technologies to:
- Raise students’ comprehension of and improve students’ attitudes toward STEM education and careers; and
- Educate youth and the general public on risks of unmitigated global warming.
