Join us for another fabulous STEM-focused webinar with PolarTREC teacher Bill Henske and the Dry Valleys Ecosystem Study team! This event will be held on Tues., 24 January 2023 at 9:00 a.m. Alaska (10 a.m. Pacific, 11 a.m. Mountain, 12 p.m. Central, 1 p.m. Eastern) live from McMurdo Station in Antarctica.
As part of the McMurdo Dry Valleys Long-Term Ecological Research (MCM LTER) Program, Bill's presentation will focus on research being carried out in the Dry Valleys of Antarctica. The Dry Valleys represent a region where life approaches its environmental limits. The overarching goal of this long-term research project is to document and understand how ecosystems respond to environmental changes. You can read more about Bill's experiences in the field on his expedition page.
