Why should we/you care about this stuff?

• Global - We have only one planet!
• Through daily activities humans now have global
  impacts on the cryosphere, hydrosphere,
  biosphere, atmosphere,
• As our understanding of these spheres grows, so
  does our ability to care for the future of the
  planet.
• Local It improves the educational opportunity
  offered to students.
• When faculty participate fully in the
  international research dialogue through
  investigations, publications, reviews, and
  mentoring, they
• Remain current with the latest knowledge which
  they can bring to the classroom.
• Know the effort required to contribute to that
  new knowledge and thus share such expectations
  with their students.
