Unit 3: A Look Inside and Underneath the Glacier part of Polar PASS:Teaching Materials:Module 1: Exploring the Glacier Basin System
A Look Inside and Underneath the Glacier In Unit 3 students continue to appreciate the role of water within the glacier basin system. Students learn about the many fascinating and unique surface melt features that ...

Unit 5: System Response to Climate Change part of Polar PASS:Teaching Materials:Module 1: Exploring the Glacier Basin System
System Response to Climate Change With a firm understanding of the components of a glacier basin system, the seasonal changes, and the influence on ice mass gain and loss, students in Unit 5 are challenged to ...

Unit 1: Overview of the Glacier Basin System part of Polar PASS:Teaching Materials:Module 1: Exploring the Glacier Basin System
Overview of the Glacier Basin System Unit 1 introduces students to the geography of the Arctic and Greenland, zooming from the Pan-Arctic scale down to the individual glacier basin scale. Several pre-class videos ...

Unit 1: Reconstructing Past Ice Margin Positions part of Polar PASS:Teaching Materials:Module 2: Long-term Spatial Transformations of the Glacier Basin System
Reconstructing Past Ice Margin Positions In this Unit 1, students begin to understand longer timescales of landscape transformation. They begin by making hypotheses about landscape features and then evolve their ...

Unit 4: Transition from Glacier Margin to Land part of Polar PASS:Teaching Materials:Module 1: Exploring the Glacier Basin System
Transition from Glacier Margin to Land Students dive further into the seasonal pattern of glacier meltwater production. By comparing river basin discharge data from basins with more or less current glaciation, ...
