AB: This presentation is intended to highlight the educational outreach activities of the ANDRILL Research Immersion for Science Educators (ARISE) Program. ARISE is a critical component for dissemination of information on the ANDRILL Program, the scientific process, on-going Antarctic research, geoscience content, and educational materials which help teachers, students, informal education, and the general public focus on the International Polar Year. Six science educators representing the four countries (the United States, New Zealand, Italy, and Germany) participating in the ANDRILL McMurdo Sound Project, were involved in ARISE during the 2006-2007 Antarctic field season. Working alongside scientists in Crary Lab at McMurdo Station, Antarctica, they participated in the research and shared their experiences with a range of audiences across the globe. That sharing is far from over! Each ARISE educator has developed a comprehensive outreach plan to bring curriculum materials, educational presentations/programs, and the International Polar Year to people around the world. From a science and communication outreach perspective, ANDRILL'S ARISE program has been one of the key efforts during IPY to highlight and share the work of scientists in action. This includes professional development of educators and outreach to a broader educational community as a fundamental goal of ANDRILL. Positive outcomes from this integration extend far beyond the field season.
