Collaborative Research: The Polaris Project II: Amplifying the Impact

北极星计划II旨在通过其扩展、扩展和增强来扩大北极星计划I（国际北极计划，目前已进入第三年，也是最后一年）的影响。北极星计划II旨在1）培养下一代北极研究人员，2）推进对北极的科学认识，3）扩大公众对北极和全球气候系统之间反馈的认识。这些目标将通过多方面的努力来实现，包括西伯利亚北极地区的夏季实地课程/研究经验，一系列以北极为重点的校园课程以及广泛的宣传活动。虽然本科生仍然是北极星II的主要重点，但每年的实地课程将扩大到包括K-12教师，研究生，博士后研究员和访问教师。外展活动将针对K-12学生和教师，本科生和教师，以及不同的公众观众。

The Polaris Project II seeks to amplify the impact of the Polaris I project (an International Poalr yera project now in its third and final year) through its extension, expansion, and enhancement.Polaris II seeks to 1) train the next generation of arctic researchers, 2) advance scientific understanding of the Arctic, and 3) expand public awareness of the feedbacks between the Arctic and the global climate system. These objectives will be accomplished through a multi-faceted effort that includes a summer field course/research experience in the Siberian Arctic, a series of on-campus arctic-focused courses, and a wide range of outreach activities. While undergraduate students remain the primary focus of Polaris II, participation in the annual field course will be expanded to include a K-12 teacher, graduate student, postdoctoral researcher, and visiting faculty member each year. Outreach activities will target K-12 students and teachers, undergraduate students and faculty, and a diverse public audience.
