Cooper Island Research
Featured in National Polar-Palooza Tour
The long-term data set on seabird
breeding biology, as well as recent observations on the
increase of polar bears on the Alaskan Beaufort Sea coast
are being included in an International Polar Year public
outreach and education program called Polar-Palooza: Stories from a changing planet.
George Divoky participated in
Polar-Palooza public presentations and teacher workshops
last April in Salt Lake City and Norman, Oklahoma, this
fall in Cleveland and Richmond, Virginia and in January
2009 in Brownsville and Houston, Texas. A video produced for Polar-Palooza on Cooper Island
research and shown on National Geographic television last
April is available at this link.
Recent Polar-Palooza presentations have
featured a rap/pop video presenting lyrics and images that
urge the listener to "Take AIM at Climate Change" -
with AIM standing for Adapt, Innovate and Mitigate. Click
on this link to see the video on YouTube.
