Funds are intended primarily to support early - career scientists, graduate students and individuals who would increase the
diversity of the polar science community.
These were easily two of the most incredible and rewarding experiences of my graduate career, and they helped validate my preconceived
notions of polar science and teaching.
The PCCO is a state - of - the - art venue for contextualising the
role of polar science in issues of major social importance, through innovative installations that possible responses to climate change.
By making the importance and fragility of the Polar Regions a reality, we can forge a gateway to the broader
context of polar science, climate chnage and the need to evolve towards a more sustainable society.
We start with the birth of that adventure, the zero emission concept and the unique public / private partnership that made it possible for the station to become an international reference point, both in terms of environmental management and
support of polar science.
The student stories section provides students with a chance to explore a
number of polar science concepts, from polar geology to igloo engineering.
The conference covers all
aspects of the polar sciences and aims to demonstrate, strengthen, and extend IPY's remarkable accomplishments in science and outreach.
