Field Seminars

List of 2010 Field Seminars

Each summer the Alaska Geographic offers a full menu of active field seminars through the Murie Science and Learning Center. These small-group courses and science workshops bring participants into the field to explore the subject matter ‘up-close and personal’. These courses are led by distinguished biologists, botanists, geologists, published authors and excellent naturalists that take participants on a behind-the-scenes exploration of Denali.

Most field seminars base themselves from our field camp. The field camp is situated along the Teklanika River and makes an excellent launching point for Denali exploration.

Field seminars begin at Denali’s entrance area in the Murie Science and Learning Center. After introductions and reviewing the schedule, we depart for the field camp. Meals, lodging, and in-park transportation are provided. For teachers, optional professional development credit can be obtained for each of the field seminars.

Participants must be capable walkers, in good health, and equipped for sudden changes in weather. Hiking distance and physical fitness levels are described in greater detail for each course.
