Polar Hands-On Laboratory
Polar regions now experience more rapid environmental change than any other location on the earth. How these changes will influence our climate—and ultimately the future of our planet—is one of society’s greatest challenges.
The MBL’s new Polar Science Fellowship, created for the International Polar Year, will give science journalists the unparalled opportunity to travel to the ends of the Earth to be a part of some of today’s most cutting-edge ecological polar research.
June 29 – July 12, 2008, Toolik Field Station, Alaska
A weeklong hands-on course will focus on key science questions in polar research. It will span terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and the physical and biological sciences. Following the course, fellows will team up with research scientists to work side-by-side with them in the field and laboratory.
November 2008/February 2009, Palmer Station, Antarctica
A limited number of fellows will spend an additional month with scientists studying the effects of climate change and ecosystem function on the Antarctic Peninsula. This provides an unmatched opportunity to experience, compare, and contrast polar change and research conducted at both poles.
