ABOUT PolarTREC:
PolarTREC - a program of the Arctic Research Consortium of the U.S.
(ARCUS) - pairs K-12 teachers with researchers to improve science
education through authentic polar research experiences. The program
integrates research and education to produce a legacy of long-term
teacher-researcher collaborations, improved teacher content knowledge,
and broad public interest and engagement in polar science.
Funding is pending for PolarTREC during the 2010 arctic field season and
the 2010-2011 Antarctic field season. ARCUS will keep researcher
applicants informed of our funding status. If funding is secured, final
matches should be made in December 2009 or January 2010.
