There is a lot of great information out there to discover about or related to polar ecology! Below is an on-going list of some of my favorite resources, from blogs to government websites on everything from wildlife-inspired art to the economics of fisheries management; also take time to check out citizen science projects, where you can help polar scientists with their research. Hopefully there's something for everyone!

If you have any links that you would like to share or would like to guest author your own blog post, please send me an e-mail at alex@polarecology.com.
