Day 1

8am-5pm

-Permafrost Tunnels with the International Summer School in Glaciology program.



This program was put on by the glaciology dept. for graduate students. They were in McCarthy for 10 days. I really hope I can do this one day. We went to the permafrost tunnels run by the Army Core of Engineers. It was really neat. There are giant ice wedges and frozen bacteria and mammoth bones.

-Attended an afternoon lecture series about snow, ice, and permafrost

It was really informative. Lots of stuff I didnt understand but it was a good introduction and I enjoyed hearing about all the projects going on at UAF centered about arctic research.
