There are scientists that consider the current rate of climate change to be the existential crisis of our time. Earth's environment is deteriorating as the planet warms due to human activity. Nineteen of the 20 warmest years ever recorded on Earth have occurred since 2000. Environmental scientists track these measurements and use science technology engineering art and math to help them determine why this is happening and how to stop it. STEAM in the Environment examines how STEAM elements are essential in determining methods to slow or reverse the effects of climate change and to keep the planet habitable for future generations.Every book in the High-Interest STEAM series provides an in-depth look at how the principles of science technology engineering art and math are essential to the things we love. In classrooms today STEAM is integrated into the curriculum for real-world learning and this series shows how all five disciplines work together in the everyday activities we do.
