In this one hour webinar, PolarTREC teacher Susan Steiner and researcher Michael Weintraub explain the science, research questions, and results of their work at Toolik Field Station.
This Live from IPY! event was held with PolarTREC teacher Tim Martin and University of Massachusetts researcher Dr. Julie Brigham-Grette from the Lake El'gygytgyn scientific drilling project in Siberia. Due to technical difficulties running Wimba, only an audio recording and a PDF of the slides is available for this event.
Lake El'gygytgyn (also called, Lake E) permafrost drilling started in mid-November of 2008. The ICDP (International Continental Drilling Program) is posting news reports and images to this blog several times each week. Check out early reports from Lake E.
