The University of Alaska EPSCoR program, NASA IPY and NSF IPY, Thermal State of Permafrost programs are conducting an outreach effort in conjunction with it's research focus on permafrost and infrastructure. The outreach effort has been termed the "Permafrost Health" program and consists of installing permafrost temperature monitoring systems!
Although we had to delay our trip due to low temperature, we are making final preparations for our trip down the Yukon River.
We will be leaving Fairbanks on March 4th and the following list shows scheduled arrival dates to each school. I will try to get in touch with each schools as we get closer. We will also try to keep a log on where we are on the Internet (http://www.iarc.uaf.edu/gmap/permafrost_health_07.php).
