This module helps students to learn abo ut primary stakeholders in sea-level change and explore a wide variety of c limate-related data. The module opens with a stakeholder analysis for resid ents of a small island nation (Maldives), a coastal developing nation (Bang ladesh), and a major coastal urban area (southern California). Students the n gain considerable spreadsheet analysis skills through analyzing sea surfa ce temperature, sea-level altimetry, GRACE, InSAR, and GPS data to better u nderstand the factors influencing sea level, including thermal expansion, i ce mass loss, and changes in land water storage.
