How will water circulation and flooding change?

This activity for students asks them to collate and present data on global atmospheric circulation maps and also look at the effect of a 3 degree increase in global temperatures on the mean precipitation minus evaporation (P-E) levels. Students then have to link this information to changes in the flow of water around the world and assess whether this will cause global flooding to become more severe and/or more frequent.
