These materials are part of a collection of classroom-tested modules and courses developed by InTeGrate. The materials engage students in understanding the earth system as it intertwines with key societal issues. The collection is freely available and ready to be adapted by undergraduate educators across a range of courses including: general education or majors courses in Earth-focused disciplines such as geoscience or environmental science, social science, engineering, and other sciences, as well as courses for interdisciplinary programs.

For the Instructor

These student materials complement the Coastal Processes, Hazards and Society Instructor Materials. If you would like your students to have access to the student materials, we suggest you either point them at the Student Version which omits the framing pages with information designed for faculty (and this box). Or you can download these pages in several formats that you can include in your course website or local Learning Managment System.

Step 6: Summarize Your Findings

Go to the Module 4 Assessment and briefly respond to the questions below. Be sure to use complete sentences and correct grammar to answer these short essay questions. You will also need to upload your completed PowerPoint file.

  1. Why do you think mean sea level change might be different on two different coasts of the same continent over the same time interval? Hint: Consider plate tectonic setting and the types of coastlines you learned about in Module 2 in addition to actual sea level changes.
  2. How does mean sea level change at your Capstone Project site compare to mean sea level change at Victoria and Boston over the same time interval?
  3. Go to the Relative Sea Level Trend Visualizer at the PSMSL website. At the bottom of the map view, enter a Start Year of 1930 and an End Year of 2010. How do mean sea level trends at your 3 sites compare to global trends over this time interval?

Upload your PowerPoint file at the prompt. Don't forget to click "Submit" when you are finished!
