Alaskan Science!

  Alaska has a lot of unique science oppourtunities, such as beautiful displays of northern lights, unique flora and fauna, and geomagnetic phenomena related to its high latitude. Below are some projects we have done and some information about Alaskan Science.  
 

Very Low Frequency (VLF) Radio Project - html version, word version

 
 

Here are some VLF recordings made in Kodiak in 2001 - a time closer to the solar maximum:
_____"Chorus noise" with some navigation signals filtered out: chorus2_nl.mp3
_____The sounds of the Russian navigation system called "Alpha": alpha.mp3
_____A transient ionospheric phenomenon, listen for it toward the end of the recording: trans.mp3

 
 
The Fishery Industrial Technology Center, located in Kodiak, is a great place for students to learn about marine life.
