Kaktovik, Alaska

Summer Oceanography Program

The Summer Oceanography Program is a 5-day adventure based in Kaktovik, Alaska. Local students ages 4-17 are immersed in a combination of field, laboratory, and classroom activities to stimulate their interest in science and discovery. Students have the opportunity to explore a range of disciplines including local ecology, environmental chemistry, climatology and more! Older students are invited to spend an afternoon learning research techniques aboard UT’s research vessel, the R/V Proteus. These students may assist scientists to collect data for one of UT’s ongoing research projects in the area.
