Alaska Gallery New Team Arrives

As a part of the latest team of Radford University researchers to arrive in Barrow, Alaska, Abdullah Zulfiqar and Nick Schrecongost fill out paperwork to receive their Arctic Science & Wildlife Research Land Use Permits.

After arriving in Barrow, Alaska, Abdullah Zulfiqar, Nick Schrecongost along with their faculty guide, Dr. Rhett Herman, and check out the view from the Barrow Arctic Research Center in Barrow, Alaska.

Dr. Rhett Herman shows Nick Schrecongost a location on the map of Alaska while visiting the Barrow Arctic Research Center in Barrow, Alaska.

Rhett Herman talks to Abdullah Zulfiqar about the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Climate Research Facility depicted in a poster at the Barrow Arctic Research Center.

Hans Voll, Jordan Eagle, Rhett Herman, Abdullah Zulfiqar, Logan Fisher and Nick Schrecongost great ready to head out on the ice for a quick look in temperatures that dipped to -40 degrees with the windchill.

The Barrow, Alaska researchers have named this ice formation the most dangerous "ice shark."

Nick Schrecongost and Abdullah Zulfiqar work to find a solution to a wobbling wheel on the microclimate sled.

Katie Mankowski, Jordan Eagle and Rhett Herman work together to test different solutions to fixing a wobbling wheel on the microclimate sled used to collect data on the sea ice in Barrow, Alaska.

Logan Fisher and Rhett Herman fix one of the temperature sensors on the microclimate sled in Barrow, Alaska.

A wobbling wheel on the microclimate sled proved to be a challenge for the researchers to fix in Barrow, Alaska, but a solution was found within a few hours.
