A Special Webinar for World Glacier, Water, and Meteorology Days, II Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Wojciecha Kilara w Zabrzu, Poland

March 21–23 are special days for science and our planet 🌍❄️💧 On the occasion of World Glacier Day, World Water Day, and Meteorology Day, students from classes 1a and 3d participated in an inspiring webinar “Glacial Water – Discover Its Superpowers!” as part of the LIQUIDICE project. During the session, Dr. Elżbieta Łepkowska from the University of Silesia explained where water comes from in icy and snowy regions and what happens to it when glaciers begin to melt. We also learned why water flowing from beneath glaciers can be cloudy, what it contains, and what information about climate change scientists can gather from it. It was an extremely interesting lesson showing how polar research helps us better understand Earth’s processes and the challenges related to climate change. The event was organized by the Institute of Geophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences. We are grateful for the opportunity to participate in this unique meeting!
