Weds., 3/1/17 Ice Core Lab Tour – 4:30-5:30pm, Cummings 200, Thayer School of Engineering (Meet at Dickey at 4:15 to walk to Thayer) Have you ever seen a 200 year-old ice core? Learn the facts about climate change from Thayer engineering graduate students who are studying how climate change is affecting Polar Regions. Then take a rare tour of the ice core cold room and see first-hand how ice recovered from Polar Regions holds clues to the history of the earth’s climate. (Come prepared to bundle up and enter a sub-zero cold room where scientists work with ice cores retrieved from the Arctic. Don’t forget a coat!)
