Permafrost outreach 2009

We drove to Dawson about 6 hours drive from Whitehorse. Dawson had gold rush in 1898 since then the school was located same position, but the building was rebuild several times. Current school building was build early 1980s. This is one of the most beautiful building we saw. Panya brought many past reports for Dawson city. We check existence of the several boreholes in the reports. These are great materials for school students checking permafrost temperature decadal changing. Most of the borehole/thermistors are disconnected by the remodeling/ redesign. Very few boreholes are seems survive since 1970s. We also plan to establish permafrost observation site in front of school.
We had presentation next day. After presentation, Panya demonstrate stereo pair air photograph and datalogger. Then all students went out baseball field to test ground peneteratating radar.
