ARCTIC SPOTLIGHT


HARMFUL ALGAL BLOOMS IN ARCTIC WATERS

As ocean temperatures warm, in particular the shallow Chukchi Sea, many
organisms may spread into Arctic waters. Some of these present significant
threats to human and ecosystem health, such as harmful algal bloom (HAB) species
(commonly called red tides). The potent neurotoxins that these species produce
can affect marine mammals, seabirds, and other resources critical to subsistence
harvesters. At the same time, little is known about the present and future risk
from toxic algae to humans in the Pacific Arctic region. Learn more about the
HAB expeditions that took place in 2021 through the view point from a teacher.

Check out this video from a researchers on the HAB project.

ENGAGE






Engage with the online community, Arctic Science Education Network. This online
community is designed to foster connections between researchers and educators
with the aim of enhancing Arctic science education and outreach.

View More

For over 25 years, ARCUS has been fostering enthusiasm and awareness about the
polar regions by engaging students in Arctic research; providing professional
training opportunities for formal and informal educators to work with Arctic
researchers; producing and championing efforts to produce culturally responsive
curriculum about the Arctic; and developing community and citizen science
partnerships.

POLARTREC

PolarTREC, funded through 2023, provides professional development opportunities
for educators to participate in hands-on field research experiences in the
Arctic and Antarctic. The program aims to advance science education by providing
educators with the resources, tools, and knowledge necessary to teach STEM
subjects creatively and engagingly. By engaging in field research experiences,
educators gain a deep understanding of the scientific process and develop
strategies to integrate this knowledge into their teaching practices. The
website offers information about the program. Educators can explore the various
research expeditions, read about the research, and find a wealth of lessons and
multimedia for integrating polar regions into different learning settings.

THE ARCTIC IN THE CLASSROOM

The Arctic in the Classroom program aims to promote understanding of the Arctic
region by bringing together scientists, educators, and communities. The program
supports collaboration between these groups by using best practices in citizen
science projects and community-based monitoring. It helps to increase knowledge
of the unique natural landscapes, ecosystems, and people of the Arctic. These
collaborations are essential to supporting Arctic education and promoting
student engagement with STEM subjects.

COMMUNITY AND CITIZEN SCIENCE IN THE FAR NORTH

Community and Citizen Science in the Far North is an important initiative that
recognizes the need to involve and engage local communities in scientific
research in the Arctic region. This type of engagement is crucial for promoting
more inclusive and collaborative approaches to research that can help address
important environmental and social issues facing the Far North. One of the key
challenges in promoting community and citizen science in the Far North is the
lack of specific resources and knowledge about this type of research in the
Arctic context. By providing opportunities for networking and knowledge sharing
among practitioners, the Community and Citizen Science in the Far North
initiative can help address this gap and support the growth of this important
field.

POLAR MEDIA ARCHIVE

The ARCUS Polar Media Archive is a valuable resource for anyone in need of
visual content related to the polar regions. It is a collection of over 23,000
photos collected for various purposes and shared through the Internet. The
contents are searchable, and all content includes a description and the
necessary credits.
