Exploring Ecosystem Vulnerability part of Pedagogy in Action:Activities
In this guided in-class tutorial, students work with IUCN Realist assessment data to evaluate how exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity to calculate determine species vulnerability to modern climate change. Comparison of temperate montane and tropical reef ecosystems help students develop a deeper understanding of how ecological and environmental factors determine species' responses to change.

How to Destroy (and Maybe Save) the Chesapeake Bay part of Pedagogy in Action:Activities
In this activity, students simulate 10,000 years of ecological change in the Chesapeake Bay—tracking how human influence has transformed this dynamic estuarine ecosystem. Working in teams that represent key ecological guilds, they will explore how human pressures propagate through interconnected food webs and habitats over time.
