Eyes in the Sky: Using Remote Sensing to Explore the Poles

The polar regions are extremely dynamic with the ice constantly changing and flowing in response to forces, including climate change. Here we introduce a set of NGSS standards based education resources that empower students with accessible and user-friendly remote sensing tools that allow them to explore, observe, and make hypotheses about our ever-changing polar regions. The resources are introduced through a video presentation by Margie Turrin, Director of Educational Field Programs and Laurel Zaima, Education and Outreach Coordinator, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory.
