About

Michael Lampert's picture
Expeditions: Glacial Movement and Seismicity
Occupation: Teacher
Organization: West Salem High School

Micheal Lampert grew up saving earthworms from sunny sidewalks, wondering about how water drops dance on hot skillets, puzzling over which color is at the top of a rainbow, and trying to build perpetual energy machines with Lego's. His love of physics and science led him to become a physics teacher at West Salem High School in Salem, Oregon. As a teacher of over twenty years he has continually tried to bring the excitement of science research to his students.

In the classroom, Mr. Lampert's students have learned about science using exciting hands-on instruction and have been highly successful in national contests. Photos of his students line the wall with their successes and humorous follies. He loves art and integrates it into his lessons whenever possible. Mr. Lampert's ultimate goal is to enthuse a generation of students to pursue science as a life-long career.

His fascination with the Polar Regions began many years ago, with a play on Antarctica his mother took him to. From that day on he was hooked on the adventures of Scott, Schackleton, and Amundsen and he has previously studied ozone depletion while based in McMurdo Station. He is thrilled to continue connecting science with the community through PolarTREC.

Re: [PolarTREC] David and THE Russell McIntire

take a snow flake... let it sit... the edges turn into ice... then form a drop of ice in the middle, then these collect to form solid ice.

Re: [PolarTREC] Glacier question

i spent most of the time helping in installing accelerometers and the force plate... i will know results from the researchers later.

no chance to get onto the top of the glacier, others do, they get helicopter rides... no robots..

Re: [PolarTREC] Spartan Glacier Questions

band ogives are alternating dark and light bands in the ice. not entirely sure how they come about. wave ogives are structural waves in the ice from seasonal variablity in the plasticity of the ice. on Svartisen I do not see this, but I am untrained. I did see on the bedrock certain...{read more}

Re: [PolarTREC] Glacier question

no, sorry no decpticons.. the blue is real. the white light of the sun hits the glacier and only blue emerges, the other colors are absorbed. very blue indeed.

Re: [PolarTREC] Chandler boltons Questions

well, i learned to play cribbage in my free time, and to the other questions, the accelerometers are just the sparkfun ones used with arduino boards, there are six total, and one wireless, which is really experimental because no one has down wireless glacier accelerometers before. most of the...{read more}
