[ESIP-all] Fwd: CAN YOU HELP WITH HIGH SCHOOL PROJECT QUESTIONS?

[Annette Schloss]

Hi ESIP Folks,

  any of you educators, climate or polar scientists, please take a quick look at these questions from a high schooler and give me your thoughts.  I received this email and am not a climate scientist (and can't reach my colleague in Alaska).  The questions are interesting for us at ESIP to consider but very broad.  Any help with crafting answers is greatly appreciated!

many thanks,
-Annette
