Logbooks

Hi, I'm Dr. Marina Nieto-Caballero. I joined the ARCSPIN Expedition as a researcher to study microbes in permafrost, water bodies and air. Let me show you what it is like to work in remote locations!

Journals

The ARCSPIN team is now safely home, and the work continues... we're processing over 200 samples from Arctic Alaska to test our research hypothesis. Thank you for joining this journey!

Field Notes

Hi, my name is Thomas, and after working with my Iñupiat colleagues in Utqiagvik, I've learned a lot about how local people in Arctic Alaska have found ways to adapt to the changing environment.
