Snow in Science, Culture, and Climate

About

Our Winter World is an informal science education project funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF)

The project aims to engage people of all ages in exploring the beauty, wonder, science, and cultural aspects of snow through in-person and digital outreach, museum exhibits, and exchange of traditional and western scientific knowledge about snow. 

Our Winter World is a partnership of the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ Geophysical Institute, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry, the Center of Science and Industry, and the Goldstream Group.

We encourage you to contact us if you are interested in sharing your snow-related knowledge, experiences, stories, and art! Learn more about our activities and project team below.
