Dartmouth College researchers have been teaching polar science to an awesome group of high school students from the USA, Greenland, and Denmark. The students are part of the Joint Education Science Project and are here in Greenland to learn about research and the Arctic. And we have the incredible opportunity to teach and mentor them! This is hands-on, field-based learning to the extreme! We have been tweeting about these experiences, so I will let the tweets speak for themselves. By the way, you can follow us on Twitter at @dartarctic, and you can experience Greenland through the eyes of eager high school students via @JSEP_GL.

Kanger forest planted 1976. #JSEP15 work w/ @christiurbano to measure & catalog trees. Will revisit next year. pic.twitter.com/1f7xaKESRj — JSEP Greenland (@JSEP_GL) July 13, 2015
Jsep measured most of the trees in kanger! And found bird nests! Inspired by http://t.co/APYbqjv7mA #tundratrees #jsep15 @jsep_gl — Christine Urbanowicz (@christiurbano) July 13, 2015
