Cutting Edge Workshop: Teaching Climate Change with Ice Core Data
June 2-3, 2008, with optional field trip June 4
In conjunction with the AMQUA 2008 biennial meeting
Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA

The application deadline is April 1, 2008 and there is no 
registration fee for this workshop. Travel grants of up to $200 will 
be available by application.

The workshop program, application and logistical information can be

Ice cores from Antarctica and Greenland provide one of the most 
important archives of the changing climate. However, for many 
teachers of college-level geology, biology, and environmental 
science, the basics of how ice cores are dated, how interpretations 
of temperature are made from proxies, and how gas concentrations are 
measured remain difficult concepts to grasp. As a result, the science 
that flows from ice-core research may be challenging to present to 
undergraduates.

This workshop will help educators understand the current research 
behind ice cores and provide opportunities for collaboration on 
developing teaching ideas and methods. The keynote presentation will 
be made by Dr. Richard Alley from Pennsylvania State University. An 
optional field trip to the Penn State ice core labs will take place on June 4.

This workshop is part of the celebrations for the International Polar 
Year, and is co-sponsored by the U.S. National Committee for 
Quaternary Research, the American Quaternary Association and On the 
Cutting Edge workshop series. The workshop is being held in 
conjunction with the American Quaternary Association biannual meeting 
at Penn State University in June, 2008
