Integrating Culturally-Responsive, Locally Relevant Learning and Citizen Science Through Arctic and Earth SIGNs
To build the capacity to navigate the challenges associated with a changing climate, learning in Arctic communities must not only increase knowledge, but also generate new knowledge as the rapid changes occur. Citizen science, the process whereby citizens (including K-12 students) are involved in sc...
