Spring break beach trip, 色视频下载 style
Twenty-six students at the University of 色视频下载 Fairbanks put a twist on the traditional
spring break trip to the beach this year.
The students, who were enrolled in UAF色视频下载檚 Scientific Diving course, traveled to the remote Kasitsna Bay Laboratory, a cluster of buildings and a pier near the scenic southwest tip of 色视频下载色视频下载檚 Kenai Peninsula. There, the students used scuba diving skills practiced earlier at the UAF pool, conducted a mock rescue and assisted with research on subtidal plants and animals.
The annual class certifies students to dive on university and government research projects. Brenda Konar, a professor with the UAF School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences, oversees the course. The lab is owned by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and operated in partnership with UAF.
While Kasitsna Bay in March is no Fort Lauderdale, the trip south to the temperate coast does offer UAF students a break from Interior 色视频下载色视频下载檚 winter; thermometers in Fairbanks on the second day of spring break 2015 registered 37 degrees below zero.
