LuAnn Dahlman
To get an idea of how the ice shelves around Antarctica might respond to our warming world, geologists are piecing together clues about how ice behaved during warmer periods in the past by retrieving rock cores from deep below the seafloor.
LuAnn Dahlman spent a season at McMurdo Station in Antarctica, working with an international group of scientists and drillers who are doing this innovative research. She will discuss the challenges, results, and implications of this project, and share how youth are using hands-on activities to learn about Antarctica’s climate secrets.
Dahlman is part of the Communications and Education group at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climate Program Office and develops climate-related educational materials. A former high-school science teacher, Dahlman has focused on enabling teachers and students to use innovative technology to investigate scientific data.
