S36. Antarctic education, outreach and training
Louise Huffman, USA; Geoff Green, Canada; Heidi Roop, New Zealand; Kimberley Rain Miner, USA

With the increased attention on the changing Polar Regions, effective science education, outreach and training need to be higher priorities within the scientific and policy communities. To help increase the effectiveness of outreach and to help stimulate new efforts among Antarctic researchers, SCAR programs and groups, and partner organization, this session will bring together examples of capacity building, education, outreach and training efforts of researchers, educators, communicators, and others involved with Antarctic knowledge transfer and dissemination. We particularly encourage presentations that not only share experiences, but also include the lessons learned and advice for others interested in developing similar activities.
