Differentiation

• Students can research different ways that carbon gets sequestered and stored, and compare those to the effectiveness of peatlands.
• Students in economics classes can analyze businesses that benefit financially from the degradation of peatlands and suggest alternative options.
• Students in chemistry classes can describe the types of peat analyses Dr. Dargie and her team might conduct in their lab.
