Collaborative Research. IPY: The Polaris Project: Rising Stars in the Arctic

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参与一项多方面的努力，其中包括：为西伯利亚北极的本科生开设实地课程和研究经验；由项目合作伙伴在美国和俄罗斯各自的学院教授几门新的以北极为重点的本科课程；合作伙伴有机会在西伯利亚北极发起研究计划；以及广泛的外联活动。该项目的统一科学主题是碳和营养物质随水从陆地高地运往北冰洋的运输和转化。鉴于北极正在发生的迅速变化，该项目更广泛的影响体现在以下几个方面：项目相关材料的可获得性；对北极研究和教育未来领导者的培训，以及通过学生和教员访问K-12教室对公众的教育；学生创建和维护关于他们的研究和经验的博客；并将其纳入goNORTH课程(www.polarHusky.com)，该课程在全世界数千所K-12学校使用。

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.
