Up next, Dressing for Success in the Polar Regions. It’s February 5th, 2012 and this is Lisa Seff, PolarTREC educator, speaking with you from the Westmark Hotel in Fairbanks Alaska. If there is only one piece of advice for adventurers headed to the Arctic and Antarctic regions it would be: Layers, layers, layers.
Today PolarTREC teachers were very excited to meet with Robbie Score from CH2M Hill Polar Services, and Patricia Jackson from Raytheon Polar Services to discuss appropriate clothing options for their upcoming research expeditions in the Polar Regions. Both companies provide logistical support for National Science Foundation Funded science projects including the projects that PolarTREC teachers will be participating in. CH2M Hill provides Arctic support while Raytheon’s specific focus is the Antarctic region.
