Feedback systems in water and carbon cycles

£ 19.95
Online Lesson | 16 Oct 2026 | Start: 18:00 | DURATION: 1 HOUR

Specification content


3.1.1.4 Water, carbon, climate and life on Earth
The role of feedbacks within and between cycles and their link to climate change and implications for life on Earth.

Learning outcomes
This lesson will help students to understand:

  • Students to understand the positive feedback between CO2 led warming leading to higher evaporation rates and a wetter atmosphere.
  • Students to understand the significance of water (water vapour and clouds) and carbon (CO2) as greenhouse gases.
  • Students to understand the dominance of CO2 in controlling the scale of the greenhouse effect.
  • How the changing carbon budget on the land and oceans can link to different feedback loops.

Suggested timing

  • how non-government organisations (NGOs) can work at different scales and by either operational or advocacy in nature.
  • what some of the major issues requiring governance at different scales are and what multiscalar approaches might be adopted to solve them.

Issues with interdependence: Inequalities

Online Lesson | 18 Nov 2026 | Start: 16:00 | DURATION: 1 HOUR

Specification content

3.2.1.2 Global systems
Issues associated with interdependence including how unequal flows of people, money, ideas and technology within global systems can sometimes act to promote stability, growth and development but can also cause inequalities, conflicts and injustices for people and places.

Learning outcomes
This lesson will help students to understand:

  • that unequal flows can result in inequalities both between countries and within countries.
  • that globalisation can help to reduce inequalities between countries but can increase inequalities within countries.
  • what the Gini Index is and how Lorenz Curves can be used to analyse economic inequalities within countries.-
