CANDAC Student-Researchers Atmospheric Collaboration

CANDAC (Canadian Network for the Detection of Atmospheric Change) researchers have teamed up with students and staff at schools in Ontario and Nunavut to launch a new project that encourages young people to become active researchers who monitor atmospheric conditions using scientific instruments at their school. Researchers and students work together to gather, compare and analyse data to better understand the current state of Earth's dynamic atmosphere.

We are very excited to announce the launch of the 2017 CANDAC Student-Researchers Atmospheric Collaboration Program in Iqaluit. In February we will be visiting Inuksuk High School, where students in the Experiential Science Program will be taking daily solar radiation and aerosol optical thickness (AOT) measurements using a pyranometer and a sun photometer.

We will also be visiting grade 4 and 5 students at Joamie Elementary School, who will be making daily temperature and wind measurements with thermometers, anemometers, and wind socks.
For more information on the instruments the student-researchers will be using, please visit our Instruments section.

Stay tuned for more program updates as we get closer to our visit!
