This is the archive of the PolarConnect event with teacher Liza Backman and the team from the Phenology and Vegetation in the Warming Arctic 2021 expedition who presented live from Toolik Field Station in Alaska on 15 June 2021.
The Polar Resource Book (PRB) - Polar Science and Global Climate: An International Resource for Education and Outreach, was created in 2010. Its purpose was to ensure efforts catalyzed by the International Polar Year (IPY) 2007-2008 will continue to inspire educators, students, and emerging polar researchers into the next generation with a shared commitment to outreach and education.
