Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center
The Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center (BPCRC) is a polar, alpine, and climate research center at The Ohio State University founded in 1960.〔(BPRC Overview, Youtube Video, Big Ten Network )〕
==History and Research==
The (Byrd Polar Research Center ) (BPRC) at Ohio State University was established in 1960 as the Institute for Polar Studies. BPRC is the oldest research center at The Ohio State University.〔(Byrd Polar Research Center )〕 The name was changed to the Byrd Polar Research Center in 1987 after the polar explorer and aviator Richard E. Byrd when Ohio State purchased the Byrd papers from the Byrd family in 1985. Admiral Byrd did not attend Ohio State nor did work for the university. The acquisition of the Byrd Papers was the impetus for creating a Polar Archival program. The name was subsequently changed to the Byrd Polar and Climate Research Center to capture the scope of research conducted at the center.
BPRC conducts interdisciplinary research at the nexus of Earth Sciences and Engineering. BPRC is known for its ice core paleoclimatology research collecting ice core records from Earth's highest and most remote ice fields and modeling polar climate variability.〔(Science ) Ice Man: Lonnie Thompson Scales Peaks for Science〕〔(Science ) Kilimanjaro Ice Core Records: Evidence of Holocene Climate Change in Tropical Africa〕 〔(Annals of Glaciology ) Tropical glaciers, recorders and indicators of climate change, are
disappearing globally〕 Studies at BPRC include paleoclimatology, remote sensing, polar meteorology, glacier dynamics, satellite hydrology, paleoceanography, environmental geochemistry, and climate change. BPRC houses the (Polar Rock Repository ) and the Goldthwait Polar Library.
