Possible Areas of Inquiry

Subject matter research questions,

What do the current climate models suggest?
What time frames are we discussing?
What effects are we contemplating?

What technologies and implementation strategies are available?
What evidence is available for determining the effectiveness or potential effectiveness of these technologies?
What are the the cultural, societal and political considerations?
What type of research design strategy will be most effective in addressing these issues?
What worldview "lens"should I bring to the project? Mine or another?
What resources do I have to effectively address these potential research questions adequately?

Is this as valuable use of my time and educational focus?
Am I passionate about this issue?

  5. Classmates,

    All very good questions. As I delve into the literature I am sure that I'll begin to funnel down into a further and further defining process that will eventually answer these questions that you have so eloquently posed. Thank you for your participation.
