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.
Working in groups, students will use common materials to create layers of snow and ice representing thousands of years of stratification. Groups will exchange their ice layers and extract core samples to analyze them.
Objective
Notice the phenomenon of stratification.
Notice that layers can tell a story of change over time.
