Matt went up with the group of EDGE K-12 teachers that Cathy Connor brings to Juneau/UAS for two weeks.  The program is intended to connect and inspire K-life teaching and learning by connecting K-12 teachers in June, and then a cohort of Jr and High School students in August with Alaska experiential learning opportunities.  We are working to combine EDGE and SEAMONSTER, so I (Matt) gave an EDGE lecture on Monday, then went up for a half day with the teachers to Mendenhall Glacier to describe our mass balance measurements and SEAMONSTER efforts.  We measured a (rough estimate!) melt rate of 20 cm per week at the North Star camp.  Anyway, check the story (and you can use a login of public with password public if you need).
