As Andy Bunn mentioned, on June 30 an article about the Polaris Project was published in EOS, the weekly publication of the American Geophysical Union (AGU). You can view the article here.

AGU is one of the world’s largest scientific societies, and all 50,000+ members receive EOS each week.  Membership to AGU is also one of the best deals going:  regular membership costs just $20 per year and student memberships are only $7 per year!  For membership details, click here.

AGU’s annual meeting is in San Francisco each December, and last year more than 12 U.S. and Russian Polaris Project faculty and students participated (out of ~15,000 total participants!).  We expect that the Polaris Project will have a similar showing this year, and again we will emphasize student-led presentations at this international scientific conference.
