The next Sigma Xi Suds n’ Science tour will take place on May 10th at 4 pm at The Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center (BPCRC). This facility at The Ohio State University is recognized internationally as a leader in polar, alpine, and climate research. Research programs are conducted throughout the world. The Center is named in honor of Admiral Richard E. Byrd, America’s most famous polar explorer. There are ten research groups at BPCRC, along with a Library, Archival Program, the Polar Rock Repository, and a team of support staff. Research at the Center focuses on the role of cold regions in the Earth’s overall climate system and encompasses geological sciences, geochemistry, glaciology, paleoclimatology, meteorology, remote sensing, ocean dynamics, and the history of polar exploration. If you would like to join us for this special tour, please RSVP (preferably by April 19th) by emailing Bailey Dye (bailey.dye@nationwidechildrens.org). Click here to locate Byrd Polar.
