Melting Ice Rising Seas Teach-Out
Description
In this Teach-Out you will experience some of our extraordinary planet's natural beauty and examine how climate change impacts one of the most vulnerable places on earth, the isolated Arctic island of Greenland. In June 2019, a team of students, faculty, and staff from the University of Michigan embarked on an expedition to conduct experiments and learn about how climate change is impacting this area of the planet. In this Teach-Out, you will join a group of students on their personal and professional journeys through Greenland, you will learn from leading climate scientists about how climate change is impacting Greenland and other parts of our planet, and will have the opportunity to share your stories about how you engage with the natural environment in your own backyard.
This Teach-Out will answer:
- How does Greenland show off our planet's amazing natural beauty in its far-off places?
- How is climate change shaking up Greenland's delicate natural world?
- What important things did the University of Michigan find out when they visited Greenland in 2019?
- How do the changes we see in Greenland fit with what's happening to the climate around the world?
