Live From Barrow Alaska - Polar Sunrise

Our team is headed to the Artic Circle for the sunrise. NASA’s Digital Learning Network (DLN), is making it possible for us to web cast some of the what is being learned and observed during the scientific conference. Learn about the changes in the Earth’s polar regions, and the impact to other connected Earth systems, our daily lives, and the future of our planet? Hear about Aurora research, the cultural connections of the residents of Barrow, the majority are Inupiat Eskimos, and the traditional marine mammal hunts and other subsistence practices that are an active part of the culture. Use the following URL for information to connect to the web cast .

The main conference web broadcast will be accessible through links from the conference home page at

. These presentations are targeted at multi-disciplinary scientists but some talks, e.g. with lots of graphical content, may be of interest to students.
