Why we go to Antarctica to study climate?
How is possible to reconstruct the climate evolution by using marine sediments?
You will have some answers by using the app CLAST and the related educational sheets. A sheet for teachers and students shows the details of the app and provide a web surfing model based on answers and questions.
The app provides the tools to explore the methodologies applied by researchers to study the landscape evolution and the relationships between variations of the ice cap and the climate.
