Permafrost outreach 2009

We flew from Old Crow to Inuvik, and then back to Dawson with Air North, which is the only way out of Old Crow.






From Dawson, Tohru and Kenji got back on the truck and headed to Faro (another 500km drive!).
Kenji collected water samples at major river crossings along the way.
The road condition was not great because of snow and the wet dirt-road. We made it to the B&B past 10pm.




Next Morning, we drove another 60km to Ross River.

Most of the students remembered Kenji.
Kneji demonstrated how the thermisters worked and showed the students what a spectrometer does.







After the talk in class, we downloaded the data and changed the datalogger batteries.



After visiting the Ross River school, we rushed back to Faro.
Then talked to two classes at Faro in the afternoon. Again, Faro students remembered Kenji and was able to further disscuss about permafrost, and learned about their monitoring station.
