Q&A
2:05-2:10 pm Transition
2:10-2:40pm Breakouts

Questions:

What do you think some of the biggest polar science problems are and what new tools and data are needed to solve them?

What are the things that they would like to do, but cannot do at the moment, and why is it not doable with current technology?

What specific action needs to take place in the next year (in your project or in iHARP)?

What are some key outreach opportunities and how can we translate research into foundational pedagogy?
2:40-3:00pm Breakout report back (~4-5 minutes per breakout)
