This lesson plan transports students to two field sites outside of Fairbanks, Alaska to investigate the interconnected relationships between climate change and permafrost. Students will use authentic field data from site photographs, soil temperature, and thaw depth measurements to draw inferences. An ESRI StoryMap, faux field journal, and 360 site images are used to engage students in the inquiry
PolarTREC Teacher Chantelle Rose conducted this PolarConnect event while aboard the USCGC Healy on 7 December 2011. There is a short gap in the audio recording of the presentation. Only one question about capture nets is missing from recording.
