One of the objectives of the Polaris Project is to help get the story of the Arctic, climate change, and the Polaris Project to as broad an audience as possible. The Polaris Project website is one means of doing so, as are public presentations by project faculty and students as well as media interviews.
Sudeep Chandra (professor) and Joanne Heslop (student) from the University of Nevada- Reno have done a fantastic job of “getting the story out” since returning from Siberia at the end of July. Just this week, they’ve been on TV, radio, and in the newspaper! Links are pasted below:
