Antarctic ecosystems are undergoing change at unprecedented levels. In this lesson, students will use real data to evaluate the effect of climate change on Antarctic fish. Denise Hardoy created this lesson plan after joining Dr. Anne Todgham’s team studying Antarctic Fish Development Under Future Ocean Conditions in October/November of 2019.
This Live from IPY! event was with PolarTREC Teacher Gerty Ward, and scientists Sarah Zimmerman, Rick Krishfield, and Brian Hunt who are all participating in oceanographic research on board the CCGC Louis S. St-Laurent on the Beaufort Sea.
There were about 120 people in attendance.
The beginning part of the presentation is composed of recordings from Gerty Ward and the
Online version of The News & Observer news paper article highlighting Gerty Ward's participation in a PolarTREC expedition on the Beaufort Sea. Gerty will be working with Rick Krishfield and other scientists on a Canadian icebreaker studying ocean currents and more!
