As part of the MII Greenland project we will be extending the Ice Flows computer game to include a \u201cGreenland World\u201d.\u00a0 Ice Flows was launched in 2016, based on the Antarctic Ice Sheet, and has been widely used in schools and universities as an educational outreach tool.\u00a0 The development of the Greenland World will enable us to communicate the results of the project in a fun, interactive and engaging way.\u00a0 You can find out more about Ice Flows at www.iceflowsgame.com<\/a>, or read on below.<\/p>\n

Ice Flows:<\/p>\n

Ice Flows is a game about climate, ice sheets and a variety of characters with which you play along.\u00a0 Your task in the Antarctic world is to get a penguin to its dinner, without being eaten itself!\u00a0 The game is built around a simple computer model of how ice flows, so the player can do their own climate experiments in an engaging way. \u00a0The Greenland world will introduce a host of new characters and a bonus level which will communicate the nature of the hydrological system in the Greenland Ice Sheet.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Resources:<\/p>\n

Existing teaching resources are available via the website www.iceflowsgame.com\/resources.html<\/a>, created in association with the Geographical Association.\u00a0 We will be extending these resources to include material relevant to Greenland as part of this project.<\/p>\n

Further outreach:<\/p>\n

We will also work with the UK Polar Network to bring these teaching materials, alongside the game itself, into schools.\u00a0 These sessions will be facilitated by UKPN volunteers.<\/p>\n
