Science for Alaska Series

A series of ten unique science lectures will make their television premier during the weekly science block on 360 North starting this fall.


These events were organized as a public outreach project by the UAF Geophysical Institute. They were presented in different venues around the state earlier this year. A 'traveling road show' of top scientists presented forums in Fairbanks, Juneau, Anchorage and Seward.

The program subjects in the Science for Alaska series range in topic from volcanoes, climate change, glaciers, and whales to the international polar year.

The program specific titles for the series are:

-Mirror Images, Exploring Auroras at each of the Poles
-Seals on Thin Ice, An Effect of Climate Change
