2 Class Outline, Class #1 17 January ) Intro and class topic mo1va1on 2) Go over class syllabus, schedule 3) Discuss project 4) Today s topics - Geography of Arc1c/Alaska - Observa1ons & Data - Arc1c Climate types
3 Project outcomes example 1) Problem Statement - Coping with a par1cularly severe winter with prolonged temperature below -30F 2) Context - The temperature is dropping by 2 per hour. We are going in a deep freeze based on the weather forecasts for the next 2 weeks. 3) Analysis - How do we prepare for this cold period? How much fuel? How much food? Addi1onal Clothing? 4) RecommendaCons - If the temperature remains < -30F for the next 2 weeks, then there is not enough fuel in Fairbanks. We have to get fuel companies to increase their stocks. - winter inventory sparse because being liquidated. Need stores to stock more.
