Submarine Basins, Steppe, and Sea Ice: Paleoclimate and Paleoecology of the Late Pleistocene and Holocene Bering Sea Shelf
The Bering Land Bridge researchers collected sediment cores from the sea floor in the Bering Sea. They are using what they find in these cores, particularly pollen grains and diatoms, to help them understand what the environment was like 25,000 years ago as the last ice age came to an end. Sarah G. and Richard helped advise Beth and Sarah F. on additional activities for their outreach events during the cruise. The team is collaborating to create lessons that compare the Bering Sea cores with samples from Hawaii where the educator team is based.
