Join PBS science journalist Miles O'Brien and scientists LIVE from Antarctica—exploring climate solutions at Earth's edge.

 

Your grades 6–12 students will connect directly with researchers aboard the RV Araon returning from Thwaites Glacier, learning how their discoveries help communities adapt to a changing climate.

 

Students will:

  • See how scientists study glaciers using ships, sensors, and cutting-edge technology
  • Explore innovative solutions like undersea "sea curtains" to slow ice loss and protect coastlines
  • Hear glaciologists, oceanographers, and engineers explain the questions driving their research
  • Learn how science and collaboration leads to real-world solutions to some of our biggest challenges.

Includes:

  • Free video replay access 
  • Student worksheet for engagement during the broadcast
