The International Environmental Change Workshop Series is a series of teacher workshops on global environmental change to be presented each summer. Each workshop in the series is co-sponsored and co-directed by the Wright Center for Innovative Science Education and will focus on environmental change from the perspective of one of Earth's spheres: the cryosphere, the biosphere, the hydrosphere, the the lithosphere, and the atmosphere. These workshops will enable teams of teachers (K-12) to investigate environmental change through classroom instruction and hands-on involvement in current scientific field and/or laboratory research. Workshops will take place at locations across the United States: cryosphere, summer 2003; biosphere, summer 2004; hydrosphere, summer 2005; hydrosphere, summer 2006; cryosphere, summer 2007; cryosphere, summer 2008.

Special Note: The Summer 2008 Cryosphere workshop will be taking place as part of the International Polar Year (IPY) educational activities and will focus on research being conducted by the WAIS Divide Ice Coring Project.
