The amount of ice on Earth is decreasing. Why? As a student climatologist working for the World Climate Institute, you will investigate changes to Earth’s climate and Earth’s ice. Using a computer simulation as well as data, physical models, and science articles, you will investigate what can cause climate and ice to change. You’ll learn about energy, Earth’s atmosphere, volcanic eruptions, and the impact of human activities.
