New research published in the Journal of Geophysical Research points to Canada and Russia as the places to find the world’s most extreme temperature changes. UK Met Office scientists examined changes in daily minimum and maximum extreme temperatures across the world, and found that the coldest winter days in Canada and Russia are now up to 4˚Celsius milder than they were in the 1950s.

The Blog was initiated as part of the inaugural "Sustainability Across the Curriculum" workshop, held at SMU on May 12, 2010. This is part of the Teacher Scholar programme for 2010-2011. If you have any posts, curriculum, ideas or inspired content that you would like to include, please send it to Dr. Cathy Conrad, the 2010-2011 Teaching Scholar, Associate Professor of the Department of Geography. I look forward to moderating this site and linking useful and relevant information. I hope you find it useful!
