Abstract: In the states of New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia
and Ohio, people are suddenly very interested in where their energy
comes from. Is fracking bad
for the environment? Yes, but so is every other way we get energy on a
large scale. This presentation delves into the questions: Where does our energy come from now? What new energy
sources are on the horizon? How do the environmental, social and
economic impacts of slickwater high-volume hydraulic fracturing compare?
Is there a connection between increased reliance on natural gas for
electricity and the US's drop in carbon emissions to 1992 levels for the
first quarter of this year? What can deeper understandings of the
energy system tell us about our energy choices?

Dr. Duggan-Haas's
research is currently focused upon using place-based
and inquiry-oriented approaches to teaching and learning to build deep
understandings of Earth system science and especially the big ideas that
define the discipline.

Pictures of the same location provide a wealth of information and data
to monitor changing environmental conditions. Picture Post provides a
way to create a
stable platform for people use digital cameras to take
repeat photographs of not just one scene, but the complete 360 degree
landscape in less than a minute. Picture Post is a part of the Digital
Earth Watch (DEW) network that supports environmental monitoring by
citizens, students and community organizations through digital
photography and satellite imagery. Learn how teachers and students can
contribute use digital images in a growing archive of images aimed at
measuring environmental change. At the Picture Post website people can
upload their pictures for others to view:

Using MovieTracker Software
Presentation recording (1hr 18 min unedited; includes about 10 minutes people arriving) : Movie (63Mb; .mp4) --||-- Audio only (9Mb; mp3)
MovieTracker has tools similar to AnalyzingDigitalImages, but applied to movies instead of still images. Includes tools for:
- enhancing and measuring color in images
- measuring spatial elements in images
- making color masks
- analyzing time series of images
Applications for classroom can entail changing speed and/or direction
of the movie. Examples: measuring angle of sunrise, water waves,
changes in shadow directions, cloud movements, polarization of light
reflecting from leaves, motion of objects (under gravity, air
resistance, friction, circular motion...), crystal growth, plant growth.
