2023 was the hottest year in recorded history. Michael Wysession, a professor of earth, environmental and planetary sciences in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis, explains four factors that drove the year’s extreme heat and climate disasters and what this means for the future.
Washington University is looking to expand its number of active learning classrooms to meet growing demand for class spaces that facilitate collaboration. Active learning classrooms often include movable seating for group work, whiteboards for brainstorming, and digital screens for students to project their work. WashU currently has nine of these classrooms on the Danforth campus, and faculty and administrators are looking to add more of these rooms in the years to come.
Integrating Earth and space science into high school biology, chemistry, and physics courses may be the best way to educate the public about climate science.
