A Note to Our MOSAiC Monday Followers
Thank you for following MOSAiC Monday during the 2019-2020 MOSAiC expedition! Starting in November 2020, we'll be transitioning from the weekly MOSAiC Monday publication and newsletter to a monthly newsletter (MOSAiC Monthly). Although the field portion of the MOSAiC expedition has come to an end, there is still a lot of work to do, and in many ways things are just getting started. As scientists go back to their offices and labs to begin analyzing the important Arctic climate system data collected during the expedition, we'll continue to develop and share educational resources with you and keep you updated on the scientists' progress. All you need to do is stay subscribed to the MOSAiC Monday newsletter, and we'll take care of the rest!
We Want Your Feedback
The MOSAiC Monday production team would like your feedback on how you've engaged with MOSAiC Monday and MOSAiC educational materials over the past year. Your feedback is instrumental in helping the CIRES education & outreach team develop the best free, high quality, and relevant educational resources for students and educators that we can, and for securing funding to do so.
