EDUCATING NEW GENERATION OF POLAR RESEARCHERS: IPY AND BEYOND
Education and Outreach
Lecture to the 'Leadership Program' at UAF, March 2010
2010
The International Artic Research Center (IARC) of the University of Alaska Fairbanks actively promotes Arctic Science, in collaboration with other major climate institutions in the USA and around the world. IARC organized at least one summer school every year since 2003 in different locations, including Russian icebreaker “Kapitan Dranitsyn”, jointly with a scientific expedition to the Laptev Sea; Alaska: Fairbanks, Barrow, Toolik Lake, Deadhorse and Kennicott; a forest reserve in Fedorovskoe (Russia, Tver’ region) and Russian Antarctic station Bellingshausen. Leading
invited scientists addressed a wide spectrum of polar disciplines from oceanography and meteorology to biology, chemistry, and paleoclimate. In addition to the opportunities for learning and professional training provided by a traditional classroom educational system, the students were given a unique chance to experience polar exploration, to acquire invaluable skills in fieldwork under harsh conditions, and to gain a better understanding of how science is organized in practice. Students learned first-hand about terrestrial, oceanographic, biological, ice, and meteorological observations in the high latitudes. Working with international teams of experienced polar researchers provided excellent opportunities to learn more about modern methods of observations and analysis and to personally participate in the study of the fast-changing polar environment. We are showing only two examples of our successful program in this poster. This success would not have been possible without help from many different people from all over the world. We would like to thank all of them for investing their effort to the future of polar research.
