Adventure Speaker Series: Afoot and Afloat for 2300 miles with Zach Brown

Join Zachary Brown (PhD, Stanford University, Arctic climate science) as he speaks about his efforts to create an institute for education and research in wild Alaska.  Inian Islands Institute brings scientists and student groups for field-based courses among the mountains, glaciers, and fjords of Alaska, focused on environmental leadership.  As part of this project, in the summer of 2014 Zachary set off from Stanford University for a 4-month, 2300-mile solo trek up the Pacific coast to Alaska, on foot and by kayak -- and he looks forward to sharing his photos and stories from that grand adventure with you. 

Librarian Maxine Dunkelman will have a selection of books available; contact her at maxdunk@comcast.net if you have special requests. Visit the Library page for details and a sort-able list of books.
