What lives in the coldest waters of the ocean? Why is sea ice so important in the Arctic? And how does it “snow” under the sea? All these questions and more will be answered at the January Discovery Lab! Join us to learn all about winter fun in the world of marine science. VIMS graduate student, Ellie Gellerson, will talk about her research on sea ice in northern Alaska.
Discovery Labs are free, family-friendly programs provided each month by the Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Virginia (CBNERR-VA) at VIMS. Designed with elementary-aged youth and their parents in mind, each lab focuses on a different topic related to the Chesapeake Bay and our local environment and includes exhibits, demonstrations, and hands-on activities as well as a short presentation (from 6:30-7:00 PM) by an expert on the topic.
