Plastic pollution is a problem, especially in our oceans. National Geographic Explorer Heather Koldewey, along with a team of experts, set off on an expedition to find answers. Through technology, data collection, and mapping on India’s Ganges River, Heather and her team use innovative bottle tags as one method to determine and chart where much of the plastic pollution originates from.

From the Education Resource Library! Travel along with Alex Tait, The Geographer at National Geographic, and a team of mappers on an expedition to Mount Everest. They scan using LiDAR and perform detailed photogrammetry of the entire Khumbu glacier from the South Col all the way down to the toe of the glacier and all of Everest Base Camp—at the highest resolution ever collected at Mount Everest. The maps produced from the data will help scientists better understand the dynamics of the ice and snow on the mountain and how the warming climate is impacting the region.

From the Education Resource Library! Primatologist and conservation hero, Jane Goodall, took her work from observation and research to conservation and activism when she saw the effects of deforestation first hand. Through app based data collection, mapping, and collaboration with the Jane Goodall Institute, local forest monitors are able to generate maps to monitor and protect their forests for generations to come.   Here are some activities for your students: K-5: Draw a picture or photo strip of something you learned.

From the Education Resource Library! Join journalist and National Geographic Fellow, Paul Salopek, as he follows in our ancestor’s footsteps—literally! Paul’s 10-year trek on foot follows the path of human migration and aims to tell local stories about our changing world. Story maps from Paul's photos, videos, and writing dispatches help share these stories with the world, like his modern take on the ancient Silk Road. This "road" was a network for goods, people, information, and culture to travel between distant parts of Asia. Paul's journey takes him along part of this influential route and shows him how important the area still is for many of the same reasons. Telling stories like these through maps brings us from a global level to the local level and can inspire us all to be more global citizens.

From the Education Resource Library! Wildlife ecologist Rae Wynn-Grant proves you can be a self-identifying "city girl" while also pursuing passions in the forest. GPS-tracking, modeling natural habitats, and forecasting migratory patterns are all essential for her mission: studying black bears and their behavior around human areas. Rae exercises GIS tools in South Lake Tahoe where locals—humans and bears alike—are learning how to coexist.
