Upcoming Events:
Cool Connections Livestream: Drilling for the Oldest Ice with NSF COLDEX
Wednesday, January 7 from 10:00 – 10:45 am Pacific Time.
Start the new year on the ice in Antarctica! Join the NSF COLDEX team at the Allan Hills field camp where they are drilling for the oldest ice. We invite Antarctic enthusiasts, lifelong learners, and curious minds to tune in, learn, and ask questions about drilling for ice, what these cores can tell us, and what it is like to live and work in a remote field camp in Antarctica.
Please share this with your favorite educators, local library, science center, or community group—they might want to host a watch party! Livestream will be recorded and can be viewed live or at a later date here.
