In this module students will learn what the past held for the Hudson River. This module contains lessons that can be used to recap lessons they have learned in earlier modules. Students will learn about change to the Hudson River over geological time as well as change due to the presence of humans. The lessons and resources in this module can easily be added to or joined with lessons from the Pollution or Invasive Species modules.

Additional lessons on Human Accelerated Environmental Change will help students understand how human-driven changes, like pollution and land fragmentation, influence the way that ecosystems function.
