Crosses indicate the measurement points and arrows represent ice movement. 1 cm ? 40 m/a and contour intervals are 200 m. Interpolated bed topography of Kibergbreen along with the bed elevation measurements. Contour interval is 1000 m. Crosses indicate were radar sounding profiles were recorded. The geometry information of Kibergbreen. The location of the cross section for the model, x=10000 m The reulting flow field of the force budget calculations. The horizontal axis (Section coordinate) corresponds to the y-coordinates and the vertical axis (Elevation Z [m]) represents elevation. Contour intervals are 10 m/a. The red dotted line indicates the glacier surface while the solid black symbolizes the glacier bed. A-A' denotes the section location as in the figure above. The total flow through the section A-A' is found to be 0.176 km3, showing a concentration of fast flowing ice at the lower half of the y-coordinates (2000-5000 m).

Intel Education: An Innovation Odyssey Day 199 town experienced a virtual exploration of the polar regions. within the same habitat,but polar bears and Intel® Innovation in education Odyssey Home Story http://www97.intel.com/education/odyssey/day_199/day_199.htm
Extractions: REDMOND, Oregon The next thing they knew, their teacher stepped out of the classroom and was replaced by an Antarctic tour guide named Miss Windy Wilson. (She looked remarkably like Heather Renz, except for her special expedition coat and an unusual pair of eyeglasses.) Miss Windy told the class she had heard about their important letter. As luck would have it, she would be leading a cruise to Antarctica within a few days. Would they be interested in taking a look at the cabin layout on her icebreaking vessel? And so began a dramatic simulation, in which students from a small Central Oregon town experienced a virtual exploration of the polar regions. Renz, posing as Miss Windy Wilson, was using a form of curriculum delivery known as the Scottish Storyline Method. "The students and teacher become characters in a story," she explains. "There are incidents and events that happen, which the students need to solve together." Technology helped make the exploration more real and helped keep the students engaged in learning. Renz created a "Frozen Worlds" page on the class Web site where she listed sites useful for locating information. Students formed small teams to take on various research tasks. The Discovery Team was assigned to get up to speed about the current issues facing Antarctica. The Shackleton Team learned about early explorers. The Weddell Sea Team studied polar animals, while the Penguin Team zeroed in on penguins and other birds. The Iceberg Team studied geology. The Endurance Team focused on geography. The Southern Lights Team specialized in climate.
National Undersea Research Centers National Undersea research Center for the West Coast and polar regions.The National Undersea research Center for the West Coast http://www.oar.noaa.gov/joints/nurp.html
Extractions: National Undersea Research Centers key strength of NURP is its partnership with the nation's science community, carried out primarily through the six regional National Undersea Research Centers (NURC's). Each center is funded by a grant from NOAA. Projects are chosen based upon peer review. This open, competitive process ensures that a variety of high quality science projects are directed towards the most pressing problems. This extramural program (outside the agency) gives NOAA access to perhaps the most powerful work force in the world, American industry and academia. Contact the center in the region of interest for more information. Map of regions National Undersea Research Center for the Caribbean The National Undersea Research Center for the Caribbean region is located at the Caribbean Marine Research Center (CMRC), Tequesta, FL. The Center provides research support facilities at Lee Stocking Island, Bahamas, chosen for its pristine environments and easy access to diverse coastal ecosystems. Lee Stocking Island offers laboratories, housing, airstrip, docks, boats, and diving support facilities, including a decompression chamber and submersibles. Fisheries research focuses on the most valuable species of Florida and the Caribbean, including the queen conch, spiny lobster, and Nassau grouper. To understand climate change and its effects, CMRC maintains a comprehensive monitoring and research program examining seawater temperatures, ultraviolet light, sea level, and weather patterns, including a network of temperature recording-stations in several Caribbean countries.
