This article describes the natural features of the Polar/Subpolar ecoregion and how those features are affected by climate change. It focuses on the Pacific walrus as an example of an organism that is threatened by climate change and looks at how students and teachers help monitor the effects of global warming on the arctic region—a region in which the effects of climate change are expected to be quite drastic.
