Read "Seals with high-tech hats are collecting climate
data in the Antarctic," by Katherine J. Wu.
Choose a problem (and solutions) described in the text. Explain what the problem is and why it matters, using
examples, facts, and details from the text. If possible, describe any solutions proposed in the text.
Answer:

The findings of this research are important because they should be included in the present climate model, to better understand how climate change is altering the way Antarctic waters, and the entire world´s water, move.
