New ARCUS Polar Education Discussion List
ARCUS has set up an electronic discussion list to facilitate
discussions among educators, researchers, and community members and
to support the development of a networked virtual community of people
working in various aspects of polar science education.
      This list allows educators, researchers, and learners to exchange
information about opportunities, challenges, methods, resources,
important events, and other useful topics. The list is moderated but
participatory so any subscribed user may post information or respond
to posts.
      If you wish to subscribe to this electronic discussion list, follow
the information located at:

CLIMATE FILM PUT TO COMPUTER TEST
from BBC Online

A worldwide experiment to test the plausibility of the disaster movie The
Day After Tomorrow starts on 22 June.

Computer users across the world are being invited to download and run a
climate model of what may happen this century.

The test will see how predictions may change if the behaviour of the Gulf
Stream is affected, as the film shows.

The project is the work of climateprediction.net, a consortium of UK
universities and the Met Office.
