Abstract

The goal of the Alaska SAR Facility (ASF) Education Outreach is to use ASF data (and/or a family of data sets), technology, and resident expertise for education. Feedback from local teachers and the local school district has enabled the authors to develop their first curriculum element prototype module on glaciers: “From a Snowflake to a Surge.” This element, which currently resides on a CD-ROM and is still in Beta form, has been targeted for 4-6th grades and reviewed by a panel of local teachers and officials
