Capturing The Changing Siberian Arctic
Undergraduate students and researchers travel to the Siberian Arctic a few times a year to study how the climate affects the changing arctic landscape. The Polaris Project is a one-month extensive course with as much learning about climate change as there is teaching. Chris Linder is an award-winning science photojournalist. He travels with The Polaris Project to document the scientific field work. He explains how his work informs the public’s understanding of the science behind climate change and what the Project will be studying this July.
