UTIG has a history of successful polar field campaigns and active national and international collaborative research programs in the Arctic and Antarctic regions.
The University of Texas Institute for Geophysics is committed to training the next generation of polar scientists. Polar studies research programs at UTIG provide valuable research opportunities to undergraduate and graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows both in the field and the lab. Outreach efforts include polar-relevant lesson plans for GK-12 teachers and polar science web resources developed by the researchers. High school science teachers regularly participate in marine field programs with researchers from the UTIG.
