Google Earth Shows Climate Change in Action

The University of Wales, Newport has produced a new learning resource that explores the use of Google Earth as a tool in exploring the impact of Climate Change on the planet.
The 'Sands of Time - A Google Earth approach to Climate Change Education' resource includes a free access online video and learning activities to help educationalists and climate change activists look at new ways of making use of the free Google Earth tool to explore the impact of climate change on a global scale.
This sees Newport's University combining two of its strengths - pioneering use of technology to develop educational resources and the championing of sustainable development and global citizenship.
The resource has been developed through collaboration between the University's Institute of Digital Learning and Professor Simon Haslett, Director of the Centre for Excellence in Learning and Teaching.
