users
take
the
role
of
students
from
a
small
town
in
Colorado,
who
team
up
with
students
from
the
town
of
Churchill,
Manitoba,
to
explore
changing
sea
ice
conditions
in
the
Arctic.
Together
they
examine
an
animation
that
shows
30
years
of
satellite
images
to
see
how
the
extent
of
sea
ice
in
the
Arctic
has
diminished
over
time.
The
chapter
storyline
is
built
around

In
this
chapter,
using
My
World
GIS,
users
explore
data
that
characterize
the
dynamic
Greenland
Ice
Sheet.
By
examining
photographs,
map
views,

tabular
data,
users
gain
an
understanding
of
how
and
why
scientists
are
monitoring
the
ice
sheet
and
what
they
are
finding.
Users
explore
map
layers
that
represent
ice
sheet
thickness,
weather
station
locations,
and
annual
melt
extents
of
the
ice

This
text
explores
a
few
of
the
many
concepts
that
frequently
come
up
in
the
study
of
Earth
systems
and
global
climate
change.
Students
will
be
exposed
to
many
problems
involving
unit
conversion.
Global
climate
change
reports
involve
terms
such
as
kilowatt-hour,
megawatt-hour,
and
gigawatt-hour,
as
well
as
megatons
and
gigatons.
Students
will
become
versed
in
converting
units
where
appropriate,
