Earth and Space Research (ESR) is a non-profit research institute headquartered in Seattle, Washington. ESR’s mission is to increase societal understanding of the Earth system through scientific research and public education. https://www.esr.org/
We had another great evening teaching kids about density and the oceans at Edmond Heights K-12 STEAM fair last night. For this event, ESR's @slhowardcryo.bsky.social and Jesse Anderson were joined by UMD glaciologist Taryn Black to present our hands-on exhibit.
