Projects / Research

Students work with scientists (and their associated agencies) on various research projects.

These projects change over the years, depending upon research timelines and funding. Students are often involved in a study that covers several years but then the focus shifts as funding or research nears completion.

Alaska Schools


Students are involved in research and projects in a variety of ways: collecting samples, recording data, monitoring and calibrating equipment in the field, facilitating community meetings or surveys, analyzing and/or presenting information.

Doing so often involves travel by boat or small plane to remote sampling sites. Many agree that this is the best part of the "classroom"!
