| Summary: | The Permafrost/Active Layer Monitoring Program is a science research and education project to establish long-term permafrost and active layer monitoring in Alaskan communities and in other regions with permafrost. Teachers and their students in almost 200 schools in Alaska collect temperature data on permafrost and the seasonal length and depth of the active layer. The project collects baseline data with wide spatial coverage. It contributes to Alaskan students ’ scientific knowledge, and it improves their science process skills and their ability to conduct research even in remote communities. |
