Greetings from your instructors!
Margaret was raised in Fairbanks and became fascinated with permafrost during her undergraduate in Civil Engineering at UAF. She earned her Masters in Arctic Engineering and is currently working on her PhD in Permafrost Engineering. Her research is on the history of permafrost engineering in Alaska. She has been an intern at the U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) for several years, where she helped excavate the expansion of the Permafrost Tunnel. She gained interest in teaching about permafrost through the dozens of Permafrost Tunnel tours she has given. Margaret has always had a love of learning to fulfill her curiosity. She also loves traveling and exploring. Margaret is excited to share the hidden world of permafrost that exists all around Fairbanks.
