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!
After the state wide test for schools in this week, Kaji and Kenji will take another snowmachine trip (Phase 2) this coming Sunday!
Snowmachines and equipments are already in Kotzuebue. Weather is getting mild. We will see Kobuk regions during nice spring season.
The route of the trail is not fix yet, depending on how long this warm temperature staying in Alaska.
Anyway, we miss ocean, snow, and big country...
