Earth Systems Science (40). The Polaris Project is engaging students and early career scientists in a multifaceted effort that includes: a field course and research experience for undergraduate students in the Siberian Arctic; several new arctic-focused undergraduate courses taught by project Co-PIs at their respective colleges across the United States and in Russia; the opportunity for Co-PIs to initiate research programs in the Siberian Arctic; and a wide range of outreach activities. The unifying scientific theme for the project is the transport and transformations of carbon and nutrients as they move with water from terrestrial uplands to the Arctic Ocean. Given the rapid changes underway in the Arctic, the broader impact of this project is found in the availability of project related materials; its training of future leaders in arctic research and education as well as its education of the public through student and faculty visits to K-12 classrooms; student generated and maintained blogs on their research and experiences; and inclusion in the GoNorth curriculum (www.polarhusky.com) which is used in thousands of K-12 schools worldwide.

地球系统科学（40）。北极星项目正在吸引学生和早期职业科学家进行多方面的努力，其中包括：为本科生提供西伯利亚北极地区的实地课程和研究经验；几门新的以北极为重点的本科课程，由项目合作项目负责人在美国和俄罗斯各自的学院教授；合作项目负责人在西伯利亚北极地区开展研究项目的机会；以及广泛的外展活动。该项目统一的科学主题是碳和营养物质随水从陆地高地转移到北冰洋时的运输和转化。考虑到北极正在发生的快速变化，该项目的更广泛影响体现在项目相关材料的可用性上；对北极研究和教育领域未来领导者的培训，以及通过学生和教师参观K-12教室对公众的教育；学生撰写并维护他们的研究和经验的博客；并将其纳入gonnorth课程（www.polarhusky.com），该课程在全球数千所K-12学校中使用。
