Teacher Training Workshop

Different groups are in the pond with the coring devices trying to collect mud samples to get a sediment record to use for analysis. This data can be used to compare with different lakes around the world to see how different areas respond to climate change.

Lake Sediment Coring with PVC corer

Tim Martin shows how to assemble the PVC coring devise and explains how to use it to obtain the sediments from the lake.

Lake Sediment Coring with Wildco corer

Tim Martin shows how to assemble the Wildco coring devise and demonstrates how to use it.

Core Splitting

Tim Martin demonstrates how to prepare the core tube samples to be split into halves. He then shows how the sediments can be analyzed using the Munsell Soil Color System.

Permafrost Methane with Katey Walter-Anthony

Katey Walter-Anthony takes us onto a frozen lake in Fairbanks, AK to demonstrate why methane gas as “exploded” onto climate change scene.
