Working II – Fifth Assessment Report – Climate change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability: Working Group III – Fifth Assessment Report – Climate change 2014: Mitigation of climate change: Week 8-9 Case Study 1 Case study of a tropical rainforest setting to illustrate and analyze key themes in water and carbon cycles and their relationship to environmental change and human activity. Collect, analyse and interpret a range of qualitative and quantitative data from a range of primary and secondary sources – this could include discursive/creative material when looking at the experiences of people in place. Students will be able to describe, explain and evaluate a number of themes relating to water and climate in the Amazon tropical rainforest, including: how changes in the and carbon cycles have changed the tropical rainforest environment the relationships between hydrology, the carbon and the environment how human activity affects the tropical rainforest. Students will be able to describe and evaluate a range of strategies employed in the Amazon tropical rainforest to reduce the effects of climate change. Opportunity for individual, paired or research task, using a range of textual, digital or audiovisual resources. Findings could be shared in traditional classroom approaches or shared through a VLE on a blog for example. For a more active learning approach students could research from the point of view of different stakeholders. Feedback could then take the form of a debate/roleplay or construction of SWOT analysis in groups etc. Deforestation and carbon cycles in the Amazon rainforest: Simple introductory clip about the and water and carbon Presentation exploring the impacts of land use change on the hydrological cycle in the Brazilian Amazon region: Exploring the impacts of climate change in the Amazonian tropical rainforest:
