Frontier Scientists Season Two
Alaska Public Media
Alaska Public Media announces upcoming showtimes for an Arctic Science
Television Series called Frontier Scientists. Frontier Scientists shares
the Arctic's newest discoveries. Frontier Scientists visits Alaska's
living laboratories and highlights the work of modern scientists,
bringing their findings to the forefront of your TV screen.
KAKM, Anchorage PBS Station, Channel 7 broadcasts Frontier Scientists
Season Two on Wednesdays, 8:00 pm AKDT.
Upcoming Programs Include:
June 22nd, "Polar Bears": Often, polar bears seem to disappear in their
frozen environment. Other times they're among a crowd ravaging a whale
bone pile. Polar bear behavior continues to astound scientists Karyn
Rode, George Durner, Todd Atwood, Tony Pagano, Jeff Welker, and Matt
Rogers. Learn how they discovered the 400 mile non-stop swim of one bear
and hear from the scientists what's already known, and yet to be
learned, about the plight of the mighty polar bear.
June 29th, "Sea Ice": Scientists Andy Mahoney and Jeremy Kasper enjoy
the sensation of standing on the Beaufort Sea. Drilling cores, measuring
the salinity of ice, looking back at historical records of ice depth,
and talking to Barrow locals all help measure the diminishing Arctic sea
ice and track its changes. The 30-below temperatures challenge all
aspects of the research.
July 6th, "From Snowscapes to Ice Crystals, The Arctic is White": Snow
can define the Arctic, but snow conditions can be intensely diverse
depending on where you stand. Scientist Matt Sturm knows snow from his
cross continent trek, from studying magnified ice crystals and from
conducting the longest study of snow melt in the Arctic at Imnavait
Creek. Alessio Gusmeroli explains snow melt's changeable characteristics
at Imnavait.
