IPY 2007-2008

In this six-day workshop during the International Polar Year, teachers will participate in interdisciplinary teams to explore first-hand how environmental change can be interpreted from glaciers and the land surface. Teachers will participate in scientific data collecting in Glacier National Park, Montana, learn how to monitor cryospheric change, interpret polar and temperate glacier data, and understand how environmental science can be used in all classrooms. Participants will collaborate with international colleagues to develop materials custom made for their classrooms. This is one in an ongoing series of Wright Center workshops on change in the natural environment. Co-sponsored by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory Outreach Program, The Glacier Institute, the Crown of the Continent Learning Center, and the Wright Center. Workshop conducted by Zach Smith and Scott Battaion. Contact Scott at: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
