Polar Outreach Catalogue

In order to provide meaningful learning opportunities for undergraduate students we have offered a unique field course in the Hudson Bay Lowlands of Manitoba in partnership with Parks Canada, Manitoba Conservation, and the Churchill Northern Studies Centre. From 2004 to 2009, students enrolled in this six credit course spent two weeks near Churchill, Manitoba and in Wapusk National Park. Students were actively engaged in collecting data for long-term research projects that relate to climate change: (1) permafrost/peatland dynamics
