Alison Criscitiello describes her work as “shivering for science,” because her research involves living in a tent and drilling ice cores, in cold places like Antarctica, Greenland, the Canadian high Arctic, and Alaska!

Students will learn how the history of our planet is captured in ice, hear her behind-the-scenes stories of exploration, then have THEIR questions answered in real time.

This event is recommended for middle school students and is also offered at 10:00am Eastern; please register for the event that works best for your class!
