Lisa Porter, a science teacher at Columbus East High School, has been selected to participate in a research expedition to Antarctica. She will be studying the impact of climate change on whale migrations and behaviors.
Working with the World Wildlife Federation of Australia, Porter will focus specifically on Humpback whales, which are vital to the health of the ocean and our planet as they undertake some of the longest migrations on Earth.
The Columbus East community is proud to have Porter as a respected teacher, and her commitment to conservation and research reflects her positive influence both in the classroom and beyond. Her work in Antarctica exemplifies her dedication to environmental conservation and her valuable contributions to our understanding of the natural world.
Porter’s participation in the expedition highlights the importance of scientific research in addressing the challenges posed by climate change. By studying whale migrations and behaviors, she is helping to shed light on how these majestic creatures are adapting to changing environmental conditions. Her work serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of all species on Earth and the need to protect and preserve our planet for future generations.
