INTELLECTUAL MERIT: This Communicating Research to Public Audiences project from the University of South Carolina (USC) is based on the ongoing multidisciplinary investigations of Eugene Karabanov and Douglas Williams (OPP-0229737) in the Russian Arctic. The scientific objective of the 2003 expedition was to reconstruct the variability of freshwater discharge and terrestrial carbon flux to the Artic Ocean from the Lena River during the last 500 to 1,000 years, improving understanding of the impact of climate change. As part of that undertaking, the team collected broadcast quality digital video. This project will interpret the research findings and documentation through collaboration with EdVenture Children's Museum (ECM) in Columbia, South Carolina. Deliverables will include: Meet-the-Arctic Scientist programs; Artic Discovery Weekends; Arctic Discovery Boxes (three hands-on units); and Arctic CyberLoft Experiences. Content will include the role of the Arctic in global climate change; watersheds, fresh water systems and ocean circulation; human adaptations and culture.BROADER IMPACT: The CRPA project will share the results of the research expedition with children and families attending EdVenture through this university-museum partnership. In addition to visitors from the six-county Midlands area of South Carolina, the project will reach an extended audience through an Arctic Science website at USC with links to the EdVenture site.

知识专长：南卡罗来纳州大学（USC）的这个向公众传播研究项目是基于尤金·卡拉巴诺夫和道格拉斯·威廉姆斯（Eugene Karabanov）在俄罗斯北极地区正在进行的多学科调查。 2003年考察的科学目标是重建过去500至1 000年期间从勒拿河流入北冰洋的淡水流量和陆地碳通量的变化，增进对气候变化影响的了解。 作为这项工作的一部分，该小组收集了广播质量的数字视频。 该项目将通过与南卡罗来纳州哥伦比亚的EdVenture儿童博物馆（ECM）的合作来解释研究结果和文献。 可接受的内容包括：会见北极科学家计划;北极发现周末;北极发现盒（三个动手单元）;和北极赛博阁楼体验。 内容将包括北极在全球气候变化中的作用;流域、淡水系统和海洋循环;人类适应和文化。更广泛的影响：CRPA项目将通过大学-博物馆合作，与参加EdVenture的儿童和家庭分享研究探险的成果。 除了来自南卡罗来纳州中部六个县的游客外，该项目还将通过南加州大学的北极科学网站与EdVenture网站链接，接触更多的观众。
