Hi Everyone!
As you know, I will be going on an Earthwatch Expedition in a couple of weeks! I am participating in a “Live from the Field” Fellowship entitled “Climate Change and Caterpillars in New Orleans.” I, along with six other teachers from throughout the U.S., will be assisting a scientific research team from Tulane University in New Orleans in examining how extreme weather conditions, such as hurricanes, affect caterpillar populations.
We have all heard the buzz words global warming, and have seen the effects of it in pictures. But did you know that global warming is linked to adverse weather conditions such as hurricanes? In 2005, the New Orleans area was ravaged by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The repercussions are still evident. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effect_of_Hurricane_Katrina_on_New_Orleans)
I invite all of you “to come along with me and our team of scientists and teachers, via cyberspace," to explore these repercussions in regard to caterpillars
Please join in as I teach "live from the field" and blog about the research at the Tulane University Lab and our excursions to the Pearl River Wildlife Management Area. It promises to be a remarkable adventure!
***Some topics to research ahead of time include:
· Global Warming/Hurricanes
Whats%20up%20with%20Global%20Warming.ppt
· Predator/Prey relationships in the context of caterpillars
· Caterpillar populations and their relationship with agricultural crops
Have Fun!
