Explore Antarctica's Past — And Our Future!
Today, the climate is changing faster than any time of the last
65 million years. Warmer ocean temperatures are feeding more powerful
hurricanes, while mega heat waves and droughts are occurring in
record numbers.
In partnership with The
Offshore New Harbor Project (which is part of the Antarctic
Geological Drilling Program), GNG will host a series of Virtual
Classrooms from Antartica from October - December to study evidence
in Antarctica from the last time carbon dioxide levels were this
high — 34 million years ago! By examining our world's past,
we hope to get a glimpse of our future — as global warming
has become an inevitable reality. Click

this video: The PULSE: The Threat of Nuclear Weapons Fall

In the fall of 2007, students from around the country had a chance
to develop and share their opinions on the issue of nuclear weapons
from a U.S. point of view. Thanks to a generous grant from Ploughshares,
students were able to talk to experts such as Joseph Cirincione,
Senior Fellow and Director for Nuclear Policy at the Center
for American Progress, and Michael Douglas, actor and activist.
