During the 2005-2006 winter season, the Bear Lake site was run by Marvin Tapsfield and his class at the Alaska Science Learning Laboratories.

Austin Gillespie (6th grade, Seward Elementary School) and his father, Tom volunteered to run the Seward study site during winter, 2004-05, in Marc Swanson’s absence.

Marc Swanson ran the study site in winter 2003-04 while he was teaching at Seward Elementary School. But then he retired in May 2004 and is currently in the Lower-48.
