Flexhibit:
The Flexhibit is funded by the International Polar Year (IPY) Program of the United States National Science Foundation. The project is part of an effort to educate Earth's citizens about the importance of our planet's polar regions. Content for the Flexhibit features ANDRILL- ANtarctic geology DRILLing- a group of scientists from the United States, New Zealand, Italy, and Germany who are studying sedimentary rocks around Antarctica in order to understand the history and future of climate changes in the Southern Hemisphere.

The Flexhibit banners were designed by staff at the University of Nebraska State Museum in Lincoln, NE, in consultation with ANDRILL scientists. The activities were developed by LuAnn Dahlman, from the Center for Earth and Space Science Education at TERC in Cambridge, MA.

Judy Diamond, Ph.D., serves as co-PI and outreach coordinator. She created the NSF-funded Explore Evolution and the award-winning Wonderwise series. She is professor and curator of informal science education at the University of Nebraska State Museum.
