News article on teacher Liza Backman and her experiences preparing for a trip to the Arctic to work on the phenology of arctic plants in a warming climate.
AFTER ICE is a short film that explores how the glacial landscapes of the Hornafjörður region of Southeast Iceland are being affected by climate change. The film features images from the 1940s and 1980s that were painstakingly reconstructed in 3D and overlaid with current-day drone footage to show how greenhouse gas emissions are causing glaciers on the south coast of Iceland to
The Polar Resource Book (PRB) - Polar Science and Global Climate: An International Resource for Education and Outreach, was created in 2010. Its purpose was to ensure efforts catalyzed by the International Polar Year (IPY) 2007-2008 will continue to inspire educators, students, and emerging polar researchers into the next generation with a shared commitment to outreach and education.
The book
As a contribution to the Year of Polar Prediction (YOPP)-endorsed Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate (MOSAiC) ice drift campaign, the International Coordination Office for Polar Prediction (ICO) has launched a series of podcasts entitled The IcePod.
The IcePod is the official podcast of the YOPP initiative to improve weather and sea-ice forecast in the Arctic and
In this lesson, students will conduct an investigation to discover how the behavior of hermit crabs change as water temperature changes.
Goals
Students will understand and practice the steps of a science investigation through an investigation about hermit crabs’ reaction to changing ocean temperature. Students will understand that as ocean temperatures increase some animals will adapt and some will
On Monday, October 12, 2020, the German Research Vessel Polarstern sailed back into its homeport after completing a remarkable expedition to the Arctic Ocean. This day marked the end of the fieldwork portion of the 2019-2020 MOSAiC expedition in which hundreds of scientists from around the world spent a year in the Arctic gathering important climate datasets.

This lesson introduces students to the impacts of increasing ocean temperatures on marine life. Through this kinesthetic activity, students will learn more about marine ectotherms and what researchers in Antarctica have learned so far about how increasing temperature in Antarctic waters will affect their growth. Through the elaborate section of the activity students will connect what they learned about
The Wrap-Up call for the 2019-2020 PolarTREC cohort of educators and researchers archive took place on 16 June 2020. Other participants included logistics contractors, partner teachers, program evaluators, and other participants of the research teams.
This presentation was given as part of the 2020-2021 PolarTREC Orientation by Dr. Mark Serreze, director of the National Snow and Ice Data Center on 1 April 2020.
This scientific presentation was given in conjunction with the 2020-2021 PolarTREC Orientation on 30 March 2020 by Dr. Byron Adams of Brigham Young University.
