Abstract
CReSIS is a science and technology center with the mission of developing new technologies and computer models to measure and predict the response of sea level change to the mass balance of ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica. This workshop includes an introduction to the ice, ice, baby lessons and activities designed for K-8 and introduce teachers to the K-12 data portal which offers both data collected by CReSIS as well as by the broader scientific community including data on climate change and the cryosphere.
