Thank you for the question Justyne. Here is my first attempt at a video blog just for you! Sorry for the terrible still frame image! Remember, I have been outside all day in the cold and I am just at the edge of exhaustion! We collected tons of date on the same field of tree seedlings today, and hopefully tomorrow we will have the opportunity to understand all the data. We have learned about the melting of permafrost, peatlands, glaciers, sea ice, and snow pack and how all of this is related to climate change. As peatlands melt, they begin to decompose and release carbon dioxide and methane, two major greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. An increase in these gasses leads to climate warming. Thanks for following me on this crazy adventure! I am having a blast! More questions please.

Ok, questions, hmmm...
ReplyDeleteHow are you feeling? How has the switch to the arctic climate effected your sleeping habits, eating habits, ect. Are you breathing any differently, like you did when you went to Wyoming and were in such high altitude?
What the wildlife like? Have you seen and polar bears?
What kind of 'data' can someone get on tree seedlings?! Aren't they just little midget trees?
And also, the recording quality of your video was just beautiful. It must have come from a really nice computer. You are so lucky to be using it. Cough Cough.
Drew wants to know....What do polar bears hunt for? What is their habitat like? Is it true the polar bear population is endangered?
ReplyDeleteWould the fact the the mosquito's are so prevalent also be an indicator of the global warming? An old saying for winter is we need a hard freeze to kill germs and germ carrying insects?
