Changing Arctic Ecosystem

Rising global temperatures and declining sea ice has likely impacted the Arctic ecosystem in ways that are not currently well understood. The "Changing Arctic Ecosystem" curriculum challenges students to trace the flow of carbon, from algae to polar bears, to predict how the Arctic food web may change in response to the rapid decline of sea ice.
