APECS, IASC, PEI AND SCAR jointly announce the opportunity for an AUTHOR to write a SCOPING DOCUMENT for the updated POLAR RESOURCE BOOK (PRB) PROJECT
The original Polar Science and Global Change Resource Book (colloquially referred to as the Polar Resource Book or PRB) was a legacy project of the International Polar Year (IPY) and has stood the test of time since its publication in 2010. It was written with two audiences in mind: 1) researchers interested in education, outreach, and improving their communication to non-science audiences, and 2) educators interested in bringing science research, the intrigue of the Polar Regions, and the urgency of global change into their classrooms. The user-friendliness with which this book was written also makes it easily accessible to general audiences interested in “real” science and for policy-makers needing to understand the most current research. Results of polar science are changing each year as rapidly as is the climate itself. With this in mind, we recognize the need for an updated version of the PRB.
