POLAR-PALOOZA PodCasts come in five flavors:
This Just In: A 4-part podcast mini-series from the Pine Island Glacier Research Expedition documents the harsh reality of doing science in Antarctica, where nothing goes as planned, and ingenuity, patience and dedication are always required, a two-parter featuring LU grad students in "From Louisiana to Antarctica", and a look at studying Antarctic seals.
- Expeditions & Explorers - (Such as ANSMET, the Antarctic Search for Meteorites), or Jackie Grebmeier's Bering Sea cruise, or a 2-week high adventure traverse inland towards the South Pole from Norway's Troll Research Station with Mary Albert
- Misperceptions Fun ways to explore where penguins live, and where polar bears do not, which polar region is sea-ice over ocean, and which a true continent. Yes, this will be on the Earth science tests, since exploring the poles helps anyone understand how our planet works.
- Laboratories on the Ice Reports from some of the scientific field camps, such as APLIS and NPEO: see the HDvCC section for descriptions.
- Lifestyles of the Cold & BoldTM (Yes, we've trademarked that phrase because we like it so much!) Hang out with mountaineers and field guides and see how to survive crevasses. Find out what's for dinner in McMurdo and out in remote camps. And we do answer the question, where do you go to the bathroom when doing polar research. Browser discretion advised.
- Miscellaneous (or anything we really, really like, and think you will too!) Check out the POLAR-PALOOZA trailer -- now playing -- and stay tuned for "Penguins Do The Cutest Things", and much more.
