Now I’d like to introduce you to a ‘PolarTREC’ teacher who has been following along with them: Craig Beals is a high school teacher from Billings, Montana, working primarily with Barry Lefer’s group helping them to collect data.

This information helps the photochemists determine how much light is available to trigger chemical reactions in the snow.
