Arctic bound to take micropollutant samples

This summer Joëlle Perreten, who has just completed her Bachelor's degree at EPFL, will collect permafrost samples in the Arctic as part of the Swiss Arctic Project. The aim of this private research initiative is to raise Swiss people's awareness of climate change. Perreten will post updates on the EPFL Out There blog. On 16 July, a group of high-school and university students will head to the Arctic on board the San Gottardo as part of the Swiss Arctic Project. Among them is Joëlle Perreten, who holds a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Sciences and Engineering from EPFL. The group is composed of five students aged between 16 and 25 years who earned their spot on board by winning a social media competition. Their mission: to document the effects of climate change in their own way.
