Alaska Geographic Member Price $391.40
Non-Member Price $425
 Join Denali's Physical and Social Science Program Manager, Dave Schirokauer, and educator Sarah Crowley of the Arctic Research Consortium for a close look at the evidence of climate change in Denali National Park and Preserve. We will travel to hotspots in the park that will stir conversation about the dynamics and causes of change in the subarctic. A goal of our course is to weave climate education into your existing curriculum. Throughout the course, we will gain skills in communicating science to our students and learn how to facilitate classroom discussions that move us all toward making a positive impact on the future of climate change.
