What is climate change and how is it measured? Through a series of hands-on experiments, field observations, and environmental modelling, investigate the interconnected systems that shape earth’s climate and influence ecosystems around the world. Explore critical concepts such as ocean acidification, carbon storage, and biodiversity through the lens of deep time and current events. Along the way, learn about innovative scientific strategies being used to better understand and respond to climate change. This inquiry-based program encourages scientific literacy, system-level thinking, and meaningful discussion about humanity’s role in shaping a more sustainable future.
