Introduction to Polar Studies at Dartmouth
Why Polar Studies at Dartmouth? That question can be answered in part by a passage from these points from the Institute of Arctic Studies's web site.
- Environmental Studies Program which bring people with disparate backgrounds in the sciences together for problem solving
- Native American Studies Program includes students and researchers with knowledge of the peoples of the northern communities
- Proximity to the U.S. Cold Regions Research and Engineering Lab
- Thayer School of Engineering's strong ice research program
- The excellent library left by the Program's founder, Vilhjalmur Stefansson
- A strong sense of place in Northern New England
