POTSDAM -- The Spring 2024 season of the Clarkson University Science Café kicks off Wednesday, Jan. 31, at 7:15 p.m. with Baffin Bay to the Beaufort Sea by Kayak, Wednesday, January 31, 7:15 p.m. Join Dr. Eileen Visser (Biology, SLU) as she describes the first single season human-powered traverse of the Canadian Arctic Archipelago.
This elusive sea route was long impassable due to thick year-round ice but climate change has opened the channels between high arctic islands, allowing their four-person team to cross the 1,800 mile Northwest Passage in 103 days.
Dr. Visser will address changing conditions in the arctic and their implications, while focusing on the adventure of tackling sea ice, wind, cold, and polar bears to experience this immersion in nature.
The informal talks about science and research topics with a local researcher or expert will be held in the community Room at the Potsdam Civic Center, 2 Park St. Info: https://www.clarkson.edu/science-cafe, sciencecafe@clarkson.edu .
