This article highlights the REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) Students upcoming fieldwork at Kapp Linne. The students, researchers, and PolarTREC teacher, Missy Holzer, spent a few days at the University Centre at Svalbard before spending 4 weeks at their field site.
Students will take some time and look at the PolarTREC website journals, pictures, and forums to learn about a certain teacher, researcher, or polar science expedition that has already taken place or is currently taking place. Students will use the attached worksheet to think more deeply about a polar researcher's job and work.
