Antarctica rarely makes it onto the map of the humanities and social sciences. While artists have produced responses to the continent for centuries, non-scientific researchers have been reluctant to venture intellectually into the far southern latitudes. The continent’s lack of an indigenous or

Innovative technologies in geology, geophysics, and geography are of great importance due to their close connections with various applied problems and tasks such as search for mineral deposits and their exploration, evaluation of engineering-geological conditions and environments, including

Many places have a local saying that reads, “if you don’t like the weather, wait 15 minutes.” This idiom is not as applicable to Alaska, where strong seasonality is an ever present fact of life. In December, January, and February, all of Mainland Alaska has snow on the ground and experiences sub

Communities and governments need reliable information to adapt to rapid changes in the Arctic environment. Scientists need to continually advance the body of knowledge and—at the same time—answer immediately practical questions. The Study of Environmental Arctic Change (SEARCH) brings together
