课程名称：新泽西的气候与气候变化 课程概述：欢迎参加自然历史博物馆（AMNH）提供的关于新泽西气候及气候变化的入门课程！本课程包含多个要素，旨在帮助您理解气候系统和新泽西的气候变化，激发您思考应对气候变化影响的可行解决方案。课程分为四个部分，可以按照设计顺序逐步完成，也可以根据自己的节奏进行学习。预计完成课程需要约2.5小时。我们很高兴地通知您，成功完成此课程后，您将获得2.5小时的专业发展时数和出勤证书。 课程大纲： 1. **简介**：本部分将介绍课程的布局和全球气候系统及新泽西气候系统的基础知识。通过“阳光日淹水”（又称潮汐淹水或麻烦淹水）这一现象作为学习的基石，逐步揭示这一在新泽西沿海社区日益严重的问题。 2. **气候变化**：首先了解气候变化的原因。视频中，海洋学家德布拉·蒂林杰博士讲解了导致气候变暖的机制及其全球变异情况。随后，罗宾逊博士将提供新泽西气候变化的证据，并讨论阳光日淹水与气候变化的联系。 3. **监测我们的气候与预测未来**：在了解气候系统基础和气候变化的证据之后，我们将探索未来的预期。蒂林杰博士讲解反馈与强迫因素如何影响气候系统，而罗宾逊博士则阐述了新泽西的气候监测方法及未来海平面上升的预期。 4. **影响与解决方案**：课程的最后部分将探讨气候变化对新泽西的影响以及应对措施。罗宾逊博士总结了关于阳光日淹水的现状与未来，并提供应对气候变化影响的思考。 这是一个全面的课程，旨在提升您对新泽西气候变化的理解和应对能力。
Name:Introduction
Description:Welcome to the American Museum of Natural History's (AMNH) primer called Climate and Climate Change in New Jersey! This primer includes numerous elements that will provide you with an understanding of our climate system and climate change in New Jersey, and encourage you to think about viable solutions for climate change impacts. It is divided into four parts, which may be completed sequentially as it was designed or in your own sequence. We estimate that it will take approximately 2.5 hours to complete. We are also happy to inform you that you can receive 2.5 professional development hours and a Certificate of Attendance upon successful completion of this course. Below is Part One of our primer (labeled as Week One in the navigation bar). The resources in this part introduce you to the layout of the primer and the basics of our global climate system and New Jersey’s climate system. To guide your learning, we selected “sunny-day flooding” (also called tidal or nuisance flooding) as an anchoring phenomenon. The learning in each part of the primer will reveal another piece of this issue, which is becoming more and more prevalent in our coastal communities here in New Jersey. To begin, Dr. David Robinson, a Professor of Geography at Rutgers University, and the New Jersey State Climatologist, will introduce you to what is in store in a short video.
Name:Climate Change
Description:Before we look into the evidence of climate change, it is important to understand why our climate is changing. In the first video, Dr. Debra Tillinger, an oceanographer, describes the mechanisms causing our atmosphere to warm, and explains why the warming varies around the globe. In the final video of this section, Dr. Robinson provides more information about the evidence for climate change in New Jersey, and helps make the connection between sunny-day flooding and climate change in New Jersey.
Name:Monitoring Our Climate and Predicting the Future
Description:Now that we have an understanding of the basics of our climate system and we have explored evidence of global and local climate change, we want to understand what to expect in the future. To do this, we need to explore feedbacks and forcings that move our climate system away from stability. Watch the video “What are Feedbacks and Forcings?”, in which Dr. Tillinger explains how feedbacks and forcings affect the climate system. Understanding these interactions will help us understand the challenges of creating models to predict the future of our climate system. In his third video, Dr. Robinson explains how we monitor the climate system, including sea level rise, in New Jersey. What can we expect to happen to sea levels in New Jersey in the future? Can we expect more sunny-day flooding?
Name:Impacts and Solutions
Description:In this final part of the course, we will explore the impacts of climate change in New Jersey, and what can be done about it. In his final remarks, Dr. Robinson wraps up what we know about sunny-day flooding now and in the future, and provides his thoughts about solutions for the climate change impacts in New Jersey.
