I have at least one more journal and a movie in the works for the end of our research in Barrow, however I didn't want you to think I disappeared all together! I'll post those in the next few weeks so keep an eye out, but for now I thought you might enjoy knowing what we're up to! In a way our research continues, just in a different manner and place. I'm now in Point Hope Alaska!

For research to really matter, people need to know about it! This includes other researchers but also students, community members...really just about everyone! So, I'm here in Point Hope for several days along with Dr. Carin Ashjian where we're meeting with students and faculty at the Tikigaq School. Our goal is to help them understand the oceanographic research that focuses on a portion of the Beaufort and Chukchi Sea that connects with the ocean off of their own coast.
