::edit:: Thank you all for your questions! It was such fun getting to
talk to you and we look forward to answering more in the future!
Remember to check out APECS' website (http://www.apecs.is/) and join for
free if you're interested in getting into Polar science. You can also
find contact information for some of the participants below and reach
out to them individually. ::edit:: Keep those questions coming! The
beauty of scientists in multiple time zones are that someone will likely
be around to check. We'll continue answering through at least 11am (EDT)
tomorrow when the next AMA begins. If you want to hear more about APECS'
members research, you can also check out the \#TweetYourThesis event on
Twitter this Thursday (Sept., 24) starting at midnight GMT! Thank you so
much for your interest in our Polar passion! The Association of Polar
Early Career Scientists (APECS) is here to promote Polar Week! What is
that? There are two International Polar Weeks each year -- one in
March and one in September -- which coincide with the equinoxes,
the only time when everywhere on Earth has 12 hours of daylight. Polar
Week is a time to celebrate how the beauty and diversity of the Polar
Regions and the amazing research that happens there! This AMA is just
one of many events being held world-wide to connect and educate the
public about all things polar. See a full calendar of events here:
http://www.apecs.is/outreach/international-polar-week/upcoming-polar-week.html
APECS is an international and interdisciplinary organization for
undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, early
faculty members, educators, and others with interests in Earth's
Polar Regions (Antarctica and the Arctic) as well as the wider
cryosphere. Our goals include creating opportunities for the
development of innovative, international, and interdisciplinary
collaborations among current early career polar researchers as well as
recruiting, retaining, and promoting the next generation of polar
enthusiasts. Learn more here: http://www.apecs.is APECS members
participating in this AMA are early-career polar scientists in a variety
of research areas with experience working in the polar regions in remote
field locations and in some native communities, studying everything from
sea-ice interactions to charismatic animals like penguins. We will
be answering questions related to our research, what it's like to work
in the polar regions, or even how to get into polar research. Learn more
about and join APECS for free here:
http://www.apecs.is/get-involved/join-apecs.html Participants: The USA
Team: Alice Bradley: PhD student researching sea ice ocean - atmosphere
interactions in environments with partial sea ice cover using unmanned
aircraft as a sensing platform. Website. Alex Thornton: Master's
student researching the ecology of Pacific walrus and oceanography in
response to environmental change. Website. Olivia Lee: Postdoctoral
researching using a combination of remote sensing and community
observation data to understand how marine mammals adapt to changing ice
conditions. Peter Peterson: Postdoctoral researcher of Arctic
atmospheric chemistry, specifically how changing Arctic sea ice cover
will influence the fate of atmospheric pollutants in the Arctic. Casey
Youngflesh: PhD student researching how penguins are responding to
rapid environmental change in the Antarctic. Website. Brit Meyers:
Master's graduate in Marine Affairs researching how policy and science
yield positive outcomes for people and the environment. The UK
Team: TJ Young: PhD student using ice-penetrating radar to study how
glaciers flow and deform. Website. Sammie Buzzard: Mathematician looking
at how lakes form on Antarctic ice shelves. Website. Julia Feuer-Cotter:
Geographer with an interest in smellscapes and the realities and
imagination of violent experiences in Alaska's oil industry. Website
Laura Hobbs: PhD student studying the behaviour of Arctic zooplankton
during the Polar Night. We will be here throughout the day to answer
your questions, Ask us Anything!%
