Michigan Engineering alumna Brie Van Dam provides research and technical assistance to a myriad of researchers conducting climate change studies in the Arctic. She is also one of the few people who work stints at Toolik, located in the Arctic Circle, during the harsh winter months. A communications team from @MichiganEngineering spent a week in Alaska with Brie van Dam, who manages Toolik Field Station’s Environmental Data Center. They produced a blog called From the Edge of the Arctic, http://umarctic.tumblr.com/ that documented Van Dam's work in the Arctic, the epicenter of global climate change.
