PolarConnect Event with teacher DJ Kast and researchers Drs. Byron Crump and George Kling with the Microbial Changes in Arctic Freshwater 2016 project. This event was live from Toolik Field Station in Alaska.
Teacher Anne Schoeffler talks about field work and study sites as part of the PolarTREC expedition “Climate Change and Pollinators in the Arctic” based out of Kangerlussuaq, Greenland.
This lesson focuses on adaptations as a driving force in evolutionary diversity. Adaptations are characteristics within a species that enhance its chances of survival and reproduction. Adaptations can be behavioral, structural, or functional. Students must understand that these adaptations are not acquired in the course of the organism’s lifetime, but are inherited traits that have been passed down
Students Emily Guinan, Aislinn Lavoie, and Katrina Ybanez presented their experience as students of a teacher reearch experience (SoTREs) with Elizabeth Eubanks at the 2014 American Geophysical Union Ocean Sciences Meeting in Hawaii.

This National Science Foundation Press Release details how PolarTREC teacher Paula Dell's students designed and built their own underwater camera rig to observe and record Antarctic Fish. Their device was successfully deployed this year in the waters off Antarctica.
The following presentation was given by Dr. Patricia Yager at the 2012 Arctic Ocean Ecosystem Workshop in Barrow, Alaska. The presentation outlines Dr. Yager's work in biological and chemical oceanography, and focuses on the feedbacks between climate change and marine ecosystems at different locations around the world.
