Recuperación del fondeo fantasma, un fondeo que se había perdido por diez años en aguas de la Antártida. La recuperación se llevó a cabo durante el crucero CLIVAR S4P abordo del rompe hielos de investigación NB Palmer. Proyecto PolarTREC Sea Water property changes in the Southern Sea.

Recovery of an oceanographic mooring (WHOI) that had been lost in Antarctic waters for 10 years. The recovery took place from the RVIB NB Palmer during the CLIVAR S4P cruise. Video by Juan Botella, Monona Grove High School, for PolarTREC (polartrec.com)
As the homepage of the website describes, "The beauty of the Arctic, its precious and fragile nature, its critical role in maintaining a stable climate for the planet, and the rapid rate of change that is occurring there must all be conveyed to the general public. Here, through digital story telling, we put a human face on science, life, societies
Students will use marshmallows to simulate toxins in the environment. Concentrations of these toxins will be modeled and calculated as they bioaccumulate up the food chain. Methylmercury and POPs are substances that bioaccumulate in the Arctic food chain. OASIS scientists studied these in Barrow, Alaska. (See Ocean Atmosphere Sea Ice and Snow (OASIS) Project at www.polartrec.com)
Students will discover how a simple action such as turning on a television will lead to toxins in our food supply. Many of these toxins concentrate in the Arctic because of long-range transport of pollutants in the atmosphere. Scientists in the OASIS project (http://www.polartrec.com/ocean-atmosphere-sea-ice-and-snowpack-interactions) study these pollutants in the Arctic. Students will learn about actions that they can take to
In this lesson students research scientific field expeditions and learn what it is like working in the field. Students are able to ask questions of the research team as part of their project. Students then share what they have learned with their classmates.
Objective
1. Students understand what really goes on in the field during a scientific study.
