Toolik Lake: Models for the Arctic Tundra - Home |

Karen Bejin Studies the Arctic Tundra in northern Alaska
29 May - 17 June 2004
UPDATES:
21 June 2004 - Ms. Bejin has completed her field expedition and returned home.
Karen Bejin helped develop land-atmosphere energy and moisture flux models for artic tundra near
the Toolik Field Station in northern Alaska. Karen worked with researchers
from the Microwave Geophysics Group at the University of Michigan to collect
data with sophisticated sensors to monitor the thickness and water content of permafrost, an important carbon sink
in the arctic environment.
Karen teaches 6th grade science, English, and reading, and one section of accelerated 8th grade science at
DeLong Middle School in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. Karen has participated
in research experience programs in Alaska, Wisconsin, and the American West, and has won several awards from state science
associations. Karen looks forward to her TREC experience as an adventure in learning, and hopes to show her students stories
and pictures of "what it's like to do research, what it's like to be working at something you love to do, and what it's like
to be a life-long learner."
