Polar scientists work in some of the most amazing, yet also remote and potentially dangerous environments on the planet. Seth Campbell from the University of Maine, School of Earth and Climate Sciences & Climate Change Institute and the US Army ERDC-Cold Regions Research and Engineering Lab explains what it takes to design, safely operate, and successfully complete field work in such remote areas. This webinar provides insight into remote field work from the early stages of planning to the safe completion of the project with emphasis on real world mistakes and successes, unexpected field challenges, and criteria that may be used for selection of early career scientists as field assistants.
