Historic greenhouse gas concentrations from Antarctic ice core sampling
ANSTO Physicist Andrew Smith collaborates with international scientists to study historical greenhouse gas concentrations from Antarctic ice core samples. This data set contains temperature records and concentrations of carbon dioxide and methane from the last 800,000 years.
Students will:
- read suggested articles relating to the increase in concentration of greenhouse gases
- construct graphs using the data provided
- use the knowledge and understanding acquired from reading the suggested articles and their constructed graphs to answer questions provided
