Public tours have returned - join the Byrd Center Wednesday evening for a virtual public tour!
Register via Zoom to embark on a virtual tour of the Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center, followed by a tour of one of several sites visited by our researchers. On the tour, visitors will have the opportunity to explore Scott Hall in a virtual setting, including the Polar Rock Repository, Ice Core Facility, and a sneak peak from inside the Class 100 Clean Laboratory. Then, visitors will be "transported" to Peru to stand atop a tropical glacier - Quelccaya. Join researchers as they collect core samples, and enjoy the view of the southern Andes Mountains from 18,670 ft above sea level in this special first-ever tour of the glacier.
If you require an accommodation such as live captioning or ASL interpretation to participate in this event, please contact Karina Peggau at peggau.1@osu.edu (email) or 614-688-8279 (phone). Requests made by December 31 will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the university will make every effort to meet requests made after this date.
Tours were created by Kira Harris and Kasey Krok using video, photos, and data collected by field researchers. Field researchers were instrumental in providing guidance so tours genuinely capture the landscape and research conducted there. Claire Mercer, Pam Theodotou, and Jason Cervenec also contributed to the tours.
