research is critical, but complex science\u00a0can be hard to communicate, especially to children, which creates a gap that limits public understanding and action,\u201d says <strong>Siobhan Fathel \u201911<\/strong>, assistant professor of earth &amp;\u00a0environmental sciences. \u201cWe are experiencing a time in which science is under scrutiny, but I think talking about science and being able to make it accessible is what we have to focus on.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students in Fathel\u2019s Climate and Global Change course recently tackled this problem when they translated peer-reviewed scientific journal articles into children\u2019s books. Every story focuses on an impact of climate change and cites the research article that inspired it. Each book is also accompanied by a parent and educator guide that explains the science behind the story, directs them to additional information and gives them a list of action items to help the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Coral\u2019s Colors<\/em> by <strong>Rhylee Gangestad \u201925<\/strong>, an environmental studies major from Hagerstown, Maryland, follows a coral character and her ocean friends as they experience a&nbsp;bleaching event caused by climate change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe theme centers around environmental resilience, human responsibility and hope while the story introduces young&nbsp;readers to coral bleaching in an age-appropriate, emotionally engaging way,\u201d Gangestad explains. \u201cThe illustrations are bright and expressive and show the ocean both in distress and in recovery, depending on human action.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gangestad\u2019s scholarly inspiration came from her lifelong love of the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cGrowing up, the beach was always a place of beauty and joy during family vacations. I believe many kids see it that way too, which makes the idea of losing it feel personal and real,\u201d Gangestad shares. \u201cThat\u2019s why translating such an important topic into a format that could reach children \u2014 and inspire them to care about the planet \u2014 felt especially meaningful to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After choosing her research article, Gangestad read and annotated the article, pulling out key terms, causes and effects. She then brainstormed how to personify the coral and bring emotion and storytelling into the science. She wrote the story in rhyme to make it fun and readable for young kids, while still keeping the core scientific ideas accurate.

But with rising temperatures exacerbated by a nearby power plant, Oscar and his bivalve buddies can only play soccer for a few minutes before a seagull referee is forced to end the game early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The book was written by Maryland natives <strong>Cate Chodnicki \u201925<\/strong>,&nbsp;an environmental studies and international studies double major from Bel Air, and<strong> Sean Yamada \u201925<\/strong>, an environmental studies major from Brookeville. For background, they used a study that examined the impacts of hypoxia and warming waters on oyster growth and health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOysters are integral to the health of the Chesapeake Bay because they are natural water filters, filtering pollution&nbsp;and sediment as they feed,\u201d Chodnicki says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Evan Heisler \u201926<\/strong>, an ecology major from Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, and <strong>Sylvia Kniss \u201925<\/strong>, an earth &amp;&nbsp;environmental sciences major from Kempton, Pennsylvania, wrote <em>Sadsquatch<\/em> about a giant purple sasquatch who is heartbroken when her little bird friends migrate farther north to more suitable habitats with cooler climates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe story is about friendship but it is inspired by a highly comprehensive scientific study on bird migration that draws on data from the past 100 years,\u201d Heisler says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other students created books that touch on extreme weather, arctic ice melt, drought and more. The storybooks are available to view in 做厙TV\u2019s Blough-Weis Library.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"susqu-magzine-news-post-footer component alignfull\" data-show-author=\"1\">\n
