February 2013
Vol. 80 No. 2

Earth and space science are often the forgotten discipline in high school. This is a shame.

Students must comprehend the dynamic Earth system if they are to responsibly address such critical issues as global climate change. Emerging technologies—many of them spin-offs of the space program—offer powerful new tools for students to analyze a wide range of planetary data and create their own inquiry-based investigations. The articles in this issue offer a taste of the vast range of study that awaits.
