Educational Resources

One of SCAR’s primary goals is “to communicate scientific information about the Antarctic region to the public.”  Communication is essential in all aspects of SCAR’s work, to ensure that scientists, policymakers and decision makers understand the significance and value of SCAR’s activities and are willing to support them.  SCAR also aims to inform the wider public about Antarctic issues.

As part of our efforts we are share educational resources to help scientists and educators communicate topics related to Antarctica. Many of these activities come from our scientific community and from our partner, Polar Educators International. If you have a resource you would like us to share, please This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
