In 2008 I was selected from 450 applicants to join a research expedition to the Summit of Greenland's Ice Sheet through PolarTREC where I assisted a team of 20 researchers and explorers to study and measure the atmospheric changes over the ice sheet. We lived in tents in freezing conditions for 6 weeks and collected some of the most important Arctic data ever.
I continue to do research, most recently receiving a grant from the Murdock Trust to study the effects of a changing climate on Alpine regions in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The project has taken me to some of the highest areas of Montana to replicate historic photographs and quantify the change in treeline (timberline) over time.
I was awarded the 2015 Montana Teacher of the Year and have humbly and graciously represented Montana educators around the world as I travel to spread a positive word about the importance and impact of teachers.
Through my business, Beals Science LLC (BealsScience.com and the BealsScience YouTube) I continue to spread my enthusiasm for science, education, and learning. I consult on science education practices, science equipment implementation, inquiry, and experimentation.
Today, I continue to teach and speak at conferences around the country.
