PolarTREC (Teachers and Researchers Exploring and Collaborating) is a program that pairs US educators with researchers for field science experiences in the Arctic and Antarctic. For people like me, it is exciting to note that the program is now open to informal science educators as well as formal K-12 teachers. PolarTREC is managed by the Arctic
IPY marks the beginning of a sustained effort to understand large-scale environmental change in Earth's polar regions, which have major societal and economic impacts, and to advance new scientific frontiers, from the molecular to the planetary scale. NASA brings a unique perspective to IPY, which will focus on five themes: 1) NASA explores scientific frontiers in Earth's polar regions.; 2)
ALISON combines educational and scientific need by
1. supporting teacher professional development and student learning in the local context through the study of those abundant and familiar materials, snow and ice, that
2. creates scientifically valuable data that document the lake ice and conductive heat flow variability in Alaska, and which can be used for evaluating the performance of numerical
