Polar-Palooza: Stories from a Changing Planet

The North and South Poles are thousands of miles away, but North Texans can see and hear about the latest scientific Polar developments -- and what they mean for humans everywhere -- when the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History presents a group of Polar experts. These Polar authorities will discuss the crucial role that the Poles play in the Earth's ecosystem, explaining how human activity in the densely-populated mid-latitudes affects the Poles. They'll also talk about how changes in the Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets impact weather and climate everywhere on Earth, as the Poles continue to change rapidly.

Admission is free for Museum members or $5 for non-members.
