Project Description:

This poster examines how solar radiation drives Earth’s climate, weather systems, and the biological processes that sustain life. The resource details how the ozone layer shields us from ultraviolet light and how Earth’s atmosphere traps greenhouse gases. By combining NASA’s atmospheric monitoring of thermal energy and weather phenomena ( like hurricanes ) with Navajo ways of knowing, it explores the deep scientific connections to our primary energy source.
