Each summer, NAU undergraduate\nand graduate students join researchers studying the Alaska tundra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These students are conducting field research into how global warming\naffects carbon locked in the Alaskan permafrost. Through this experience\nstudents are able to apply skills they learned in the classroom to\nhands-on research. As Regents\u2019 Professor Ted Schuur<\/a> explains,\n\u201cThere\u2019s a whole world out here for exploration, and students get to be\na part of that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
