Everest Expedition
Nov 10 2002
In Spring 2012, a team of world-class climbers will attempt to summit Mount Everest. Team member Dr. Dave Lageson, a Montana State University professor of geology, plans a rigorous scientific component to complement the expedition's climbing goals. The team is partnering with Montana NSF EPSCoR to produce an education and public outreach program that reaches schools and citizens throughout Montana and beyond. The focus of this outreach is the science of Everest, particularly glaciology, geology, weather, climate change, and high-altitude physiology.
