Climate change and the Russian Arctic

On this page you will find Key Stage Three worksheets and Key Stage Five worksheets for A level. The final worksheet of each set is a GIS task. All activities are focused on Climate change and the Russian Arctic.

We are delighted to have worked with the University of Birmingham and the WWF on these resources, with special thanks to Dr. Caroline Coch for her help. Thank you to Dr Alexey Kokorin, Head of the Climate and Environment programme at WWF-Russia, for helping with the production of some of these resources. The support of the UK's Arts and Humanities Research Council is gratefully acknowledged (Ref: AH/P004431/1).
