Science Education through Earth Observation for High Schools (SEOS) is an initiative for using satellite remote sensing of the Earth in science education curricula in high schools.

The project was funded by the European Commission (EC). Coordinated by University of Oldenburg and implemented by 11 partners from European countries, and in cooperation with partner high schools and the European Space Agency (ESA), it offers 17 tutorials on scientific and environmental topics. They cover many disciplines such as physics, biology, geography, mathematics and engineering, focusing on the interdisciplinary character of environmental education. Available in several languages, they also support language teaching.

Climate and climate change is important in most tutorials, and there is a chapter on this topic in « Understanding Spectra from the Earth ».

Your support for versions in other languages would be warmly welcomed! We also appreciate any kind of feedback regarding suggestions for improvements. Please send your comments to the SEOS Coordinator Rainer Reuter.
