  • {PDF EPUB} North to the Pole by Will Steger North to the Pole by Will Steger
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} North to the Pole by Will Steger North to the Pole by Will Steger. A formidable voice calling for understanding and the preservation of the Arctic, and the Earth, Will Steger is best known for his legendary polar explorations. He has traveled tens of thousands of miles by kayak and dogsled over 50 years, leading teams on some of the most significant polar expeditions in history. Expeditions Steger led the first confirmed dogsled journey to the North Pole without re-supply in 1986, the 1,600-mile south-north traverse of Greenland (the longest unsupported dogsled expedition in history) in 1988, and led the first dogsled traverse of Antarctica (the historic seven month, 3,741-mile International Trans-Antarctica Expedition) in 1989–90. Educator & Entrepreneur Will Steger is also an educator, author, entrepreneur and eyewitness to the effects of climate change. With his ability to blend extreme exploration and cutting-edge technology, Steger pioneered online education – reaching more than 20 million students via online daily journals and even delivering the first ever transmission of digital photography from the North Pole. Based on his unique eyewitness experience with climate change in the Polar Regions, he established Climate Generation: A Will Steger Legacy in 2006 (formerly Will Steger Foundation), a Minneapolis, MN based nonprofit that educates and empowers people to engage in solutions to climate change. Drawing on his knowledge as an expedition leader, Will Steger designed the Steger Wilderness Center in Ely, MN, dedicated to solving the problems of our age at a place that inspires clarity and break-through innovation.

  • Scientific Information 2001/2002 Annual New Zealand
    Scientific Information 2001/2002 Annual New Zealand Forward Plans LGP The Latitudinal Gradient Project (LGP) is aimed at increasing the understanding of the coastal marine, freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems that exist along the Victoria Land coastline in the Ross Sea region, and describing potential environmental variability that may occur in the future. Antarctica New Zealand is providing the logistical capabilities for research camps to be located at specific sites along the Victoria Land coast. Thus, the opportunity to work at particular locations in collaboration with other scientists from various disciplines and National Antarctic Programmes is provided. LGP has been formally incorporated into the SCAR programme RiSCC (Regional Sensitivity to Climate Change). Certain data collected within the LGP will be housed and made available within the RiSCC database framework. Details on how the data will be shared and the timing of when the data will be made available have yet to be decided. It is intended that publications arising from the LGP will be published in a special issue of a refereed journal. Research under the LGP will be both ship-based and land-based. At present, ship-based research, funded under the Ministry of Fisheries’ BioRoss programme and the Italian Antarctic Programme, has been scheduled for January to March 2004 with a research voyage planned using two vessels aimed at supporting near-shore and deep-water marine research. The vessels dedicated to this research are NIWA’s RV Tangaroa, and the Italian Antarctic Programme’s RV Italica. Further information about the ship-based research can be found in the BioRoss research plan and in the BioRoss call for statements of interest.
