Unit 1 nature and perspectives of geography This video is about how a world wide pandemic can occur and has occurred in history. I thought this was interesting because it spoke of many specific events like the black death and the 2010 cholera outbreak in haiti, gave detailed information, and was very informal. This relates to unit 1 because it shows how pandemics and epidemics occur in a detailed way. It also shows how geography has related to epidemic outbreaks by showing disease spread maps and showing how doctors used this to solve the issue of it. |

Coastal and low-lying areas that would be permanently flooded in three levels of higher seas.
This interactive feature is designed to answer a simple, yet profound set of questions. What areas (in over 20 cities around the U.S.) would be under water if the ocean levels rose 5 feet? 12 feet? 25 feet? The following set of maps show "coastal and low-lying areas that would be permanently flooded without engineered protection." Via Seth Dixon

It was just over two centuries ago that the global population was 1 billion — in 1804. But better medicine and improved agriculture resulted in higher life expectancy for children, dramatically increasing the world population, especially in the West.
This is an excellent video for population and demographic units, but also for showing regional and spatial patterns within the global dataset (since terms like 'overpopulation' and 'carrying capacity' inherently have different meanings in distinct places and when analyzed at various scales). It is also a fantastic way to visualize population data and explain the ideas that are foundational for the Demographic Transition Model.

This video describes and explains how we got to a population of 7 billion people so fast |
Great site to show projection and changes in perception on maps.
This mercator puzzle was especially interesting. It illustrated how various countries look on a mercator map compared to other maps.
Cool activity / puzzle that plays with projection and shows you a comparative view of the "true" size of countries compared to others
