March 13-14	Polar-palooza student and teacher workshops and presentations at National Geographic Headquarters, Grosvenor Auditorium, Washington, D.C. From the National Geographic Web site: "As icecaps melt and glaciers retreat, it’s becoming increasingly obvious that warming at the Poles will affect the rest of the planet. 'POLAR-PALOOZA: Stories From a Changing Planet,' an initiative supported by the National Science Foundation and NASA, offers a fascinating look at these ongoing changes with an immersive multimedia presentation featuring original high-definition video clips, polar artifacts, soundscapes, and still photographs— along with engaging stories from some of the country’s leading polar experts." > View event information from National Geographic > View the Polar-palooza Web site
