Melissa Lau spent a month in the tundra ecosystem gathering data using a device called a Greenseeker. This device measures exactly how green a plant is by calculating its NDVI or Normalized Difference Vegetation Index. In this lesson, students will explore light waves, how they interact with plants, and find out how green is green.
This one hour webinar event with PolarTREC teacher Carol Scott takes place at Kevo Research Station in Northern Finland. Carol and her researcher Kim Miller discuss arctic wetland dynamics.
