I've created this blog for my upcoming trip to Barrow, Alaska. This trip is part of an internship through the National Science Foundation, which has provided for me to work with a research team from the University of Cincinnati. This team's aim is to investigate the levels of methane and its adverse effects on the climate. Barrow is a small city in northern Alaska, above the arctic circle. Along with us, there is a team of cultural anthropologists who are studying the effects of climate change on the people of Barrow.
I'm going into my senior year of high school, and I've never done this level of field research. This will be a lot to take in, but I'm excited. I'll be updating this blog throughout the trip, as regularly as the slow WiFi lets me.
