Finish newspaper, Maaseudun Tulevaisuus, published this article about Micheal Wing and the archaeology team working in Yli-Li. Attached is the translated article (by Reija Shnoro).
In this activity, students diagram the hydrologic cycle. Most of the concepts will already be familiar to middle and high school students, but this activity is a good way to prepare for making the far more challenging carbon cycle and energy NON-cycle diagrams.
Objective
* Students understand that the total amount of water on Earth is constant
In this activity, students diagram the flow of energy through the Earth's ecosystems. A lot of the concepts presented here are necessary in order to fully understand the greenhouse effect and global warming. This lesson is presented as an activity to do before embarking on a study of the greenhouse effect and global warming. Unlike water or carbon

Each group of 2-4 students will research an arctic topic from a list, build a small web page devoted to that topic, link the group’s page to other groups’ relevant pages, and advocate for change around an issue that is important to the topic.
Objective
Students will understand the complexity and vulnerability of Arctic ecosystems

This Live from IPY! event was with PolarTREC Teacher, Michael Wing and State University of New York at Buffalo Archaeology PhD Candidate, Greg Korosec. They talked about the archaeological research taking place as part of the Prehistoric Human Response to Climate Change expedition in Yli-li, Finland.
When Pat (Roger) Kelly went to high school he loved science. He spent family vacations by oceans, and he had a lot of jobs outside. Pat had an uncle who was his role model. He worked for the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Pat thought he had a "cool" job because
This interview was conducted by the students of Project New Start in Flagstaff, Arizona with Bering Ecosystem Study researcher, Dr. Calvin Mordy. In the audio file he describes what is in the water, and how it is impacted by changes surrounding the ocean.
How did you become interested in studying chemical oceanography, and how did you get your current job?
Calvin grew up in Kansas. While in college he saw a flyer for a summer class doing chemical oceanography. That is all it took, and he was hooked! This experience then inspired him to go to graduate school in chemical oceanography.
