A passion for all places snowy, Zach worked with the Juneau Icefield Research Program through the University of Idaho in 1995 and 1996, as well as the University of New Hampshire's Climate Change Research Center, and the Institute for Quaternary and Climate Studies at the University of Maine. During the 2000-2001 field season Zach was in Antarctica as a member of the US International Trans-Antarctic Scientific Expedition team. Also, during the IPY in 2007-2008 field season Zach was back in Antarctica as a science technician on the WAIS Divide ice coring program team and its outreach director. All of this fieldwork has helped Zach to develop the basis for an earth science curriculum based on climate change. If you like, you can take a look at Zach's resume. In his former life, Zach was a geology major at Susquehanna University, a graduate student in Earth Sciences at the University of Northern Colorado, and an oilfield geologist in the west before moving to New England in 1988 and starting his teaching career. Zach currently directs the 3-d Quadrat Program and its accompanying teacher workshops on environmental change as well as the WAIS Divide ice coring outreach program. Teacher Support Materials:
