We go places, but what do we do with the billions of snippets of information we absorb? How do we process the information so that it means something to us when we can no longer be there? As a geographer, my objective was to be able to observe, participate and categorize the billions of pieces of visual information
Case studies provide a brief overview or examination of events that impact or alter the way people function and live day to day within the human and physical environment. They help by providing students with “real world” examples that relate to the theoretical content they are studying.
Objective
Students will prepare a case study illustrating the impact

Today an international team of scientists funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and supported by its Office of Polar Programs and the U.S. Antarctic Program is researching how penguins are coping with a rapidly changing climate, as well as to equally profound changes caused by commercial fishing.
Researchers have come to Ross Island to study penguin
This site provides access to ongoing integrated geological, geochemical, and geophysical research on the volcano, Mt. Erebus in Antarctica. It is our goal to provide as much information as possible about all things Erebus. However, this site is also designed not to be overwhelmingly technical, and thus to be useful and interesting to both the general public and to the
The SIPEX expedition was aboard Australia's icebreaking research vessel Aurora Australis in the region of East Antarctica between 110°E and 130°E. Each day while the ship was in the sea ice zone, scientists undertook experiments on the ice floes to learn about the thickness, snow cover and other properties of the sea ice, how it is affected by ocean currents
