Burning Forests of Alaska
Shelby Weiss, PhD student in our lab, led a module with the Alaska Summer Research Academy for two weeks in July of 2019. This module was targeted at middle school students and focused around the theme of boreal forests and wildfires. We had nine students participate in the module and used a combination of interactive activities and field trips to learn about fires in Alaska and how we can measure their effects in the boreal forests around Fairbanks, AK. Many of the students were from the Fairbanks area.
