Outreach in rural Alaska
From February 2020 through 2022, our team is visiting rural communities across Alaska to host informal science nights for the public and facilitate school-based educational experiences related to snow. Most of these communities are in interior and northern Alaska, where snow is a fact of life and may persist on the ground for nine months of the year! During our visits, we enjoy learning about the science and language of snow from local residents.
