Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CRESIS)

The Boys and Girls Club of Lawrence hosted CReSIS’ Jennah Seaver as she taught Woodlawn Elementary students about polar science!

Last month, CReSIS Outreach Coordinater Jennah Seaver visited South Middle School’s GRRRRL Power Club Lockdown. Here are some photos from the event - tomorrow, we will share her video presentation on women in STEM!

CReSIS' Dr. John Paden was interviewed about a new article on the Zachariæ Isstrøm ice sheet in Science: http://phys.org/news/2015-11-analysis-exposes-faster-disintegration-major.html

Last weekend, K-12 Educational Outreach Student Worker Jennah Seaver represented CReSIS at the USD 497 Native American Student Services Safety and Wellness Fair. Students learned about glaciers with "Glacier Goo" and tried on cold weather gear worn by our researchers who go out into the field. Above is Jennah having fun at the fair! 

A new Ice, Ice, Baby unit is online and ready for use! Our new “Polar Survival” lessons are focused on the people involved in preparation for field work in the Polar Regions. Lessons show why explorers must develop awareness and solutions for hazards, such as crevasses and frigid temperatures, as well as clothing and food choices necessary for survival. The lessons associated with these topics are designed to be inquiry-based, hands-on, and to meet the NGSS standards for school districts. Check them out at the link below! https://cresis.ku.edu/content/education/k-12/lesson-plansstudent-activities/ice-ice-baby-k-8

This useful animation demonstrates the different forces behind climate change, using data from NASA. Check it out at Bloomberg Business.
