Voices of the Sea Ice

David Lipson, a scientist from SDSU, Kaare Sikuaq Erickson, the UIC Science outreach coordinator, artist Kim Reasor, and 100 fifth graders and their teachers at Fred Ipalook Elementary in Utqiagvik (Barrow) Alaska teamed up to learn about the science of sea ice loss in October 2019. The students embellished a poster showing a graph of Arctic sea ice decline with art depicting things they love about their home and lifestyle, both of which are under grave threat from climate change.
