Welcome to the Polar Science Center
The Polar Science Center (PSC) is a unit of the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington. Polar Science Center researchers observe and model the physical processes that control the nature and distribution of sea ice and polar ice sheets, the structure and movement of high-latitude oceans, and the interactions between air, sea, ice and biota. The Center has made major contributions to the understanding of how the arctic system has undergone important changes during the past four decades.

HOTRAX website and data now available
A new web site containing the field data from studies of 'Morphological and optical characteristics of the summer Arctic sea ice cover' conducted during the 2005 Healy-Oden TransArctic Expedition (HOTRAX) is now available. It is intended to provide background on the program, an overview of our observations, and data and metadata. Logs and photographs from the transect are also provided.
