Project PARKA (Planting AntaRctica in KAnsas): . Participating high school teachers and students in 19 different high schools in Kansas worked with me to learn about interdisciplinary oceanographic research taking place at the West Antarctic Peninsula. This exciting research mission worked to characterize the connection between ocean chemistry, climate change, and Antarctic food webs. During the 2013-14 academic year, students learned the research mission science through participating in classroom lessons, following mission blogs, talking with scientists at Palmer Station, Antarctica, through Live Video Broadcasts, meeting the research scientists, and presenting their own research at a spring Student Research Symposium. Teachers participated in a summer workshop in July 2013 to learn about the science and project.
