human threats to glaciated areas. Landslide Deforestation Desertification Plenary Collate notes from lesson and file in to student folders. Lesson 18 (1 hour) Key idea 2A.11 There are threats facing fragile active and relict glaciated upland landscapes. Suggested learning objective: To identify the impact of global warming on glaciated upland landscapes. 2A.11c. Global warming is having a impact on glacial mass balances, which in turn risks disruption of the hydrological cycle (meltwater and river discharge, sediment yield, water quality). (A: indirect actions by players alter natural systems) Key terms: Sediment yield Hydrological cycle Global / National (9) Numerical analysis of mean of glacial recession in different global regions. Starter Refresh knowledge on glacial mass balance system. Ask students for possible places to investigate (at this stage they should suggest some studied previously – e.g. Athabasca Glacier). Main on global warming issues – causes / potential impacts on glaciated landscapes – mind map or discussion. Provide students with numerical data of glacier recession in a range of locations (suggested: a minimum of three – Northern Canada, Antarctica and one other – perhaps Iceland or European Alps or New Zealand). Try to choose areas affected by latitude OR altitude to show variation. Encourage students to analyse the data (presentation if required) and draw conclusions from it.

Lesson 19 (1 hour) Key idea 2A.12 Threats to glaciated landscapes can be managed using a spectrum of approaches. 2A.12a. Different stakeholders (conservationists, local and regional government, global organisations, NGOs) are involved in managing the challenges posed by glaciated landscapes, using a spectrum of Global / National / Local Starter Ask students to hypothesise on which stakeholders may have interests in glaciated landscapes.
