Arctic and Earth SIGNs

Arctic and Earth SIGNs

 

Katie Spellman, Josh Jones and Elena Sparrow represent the Arctic and Earth SIGNs Project, a NASA CAN Award.  They participated in a June, 2018 AREN training at Montana State University.  Josh and Elena are with the AAOKH ( Alaska Arctic Observing Knowledge Hub). Hence AREN is a good facilitator of this working relationship building.  Josh and Elena are planning  to work with a North Slope Borough School District teacher to do kite training, where AREN will eventually be used.  They are exploring the use of AREN in doing GLOBE investigations and possibly sea ice and/or tundra surface characterization; taking temperature and barometric pressure readings.  Arctic and Earth SIGNs may need additional AREN training in Alaska, to help train the AAOKH community members and/or GLOBE effort to use AREN tool(s) for environmental monitoring efforts and science investigations.
