This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

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 problem was that, because of the low temperatures, collecting data beneath the surface of the Southern Ocean was not possible with the current instruments.

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution found was to set specialized sensors in elephant seals´heads to trace the variations in temperature while they swim the Antarctic waters.

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.
