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

地球系统科学 (40)。北极星项目正在让学生和早期职业科学家参与多方面的努力，其中包括：为本科生提供西伯利亚北极的实地课程和研究经验；由项目共同负责人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；联合首席研究员有机会在西伯利亚北极启动研究项目；以及广泛的外展活动。该项目的统一科学主题是碳和营养物随水从陆地高地移动到北冰洋时的运输和转化。鉴于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；对北极研究和教育未来领导者的培训，以及通过学生和教师参观 K-12 教室对公众进行教育；学生创建并维护关于他们的研究和经验的博客；并纳入 GoNorth 课程 (www.polarhusky.com)，全球数千所 K-12 学校均使用该课程。

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.
