Feliz Navidad Jeff! I am thinking of you and all onboard this Christmas :) It was nice seeing Tish and Kevin on your video. And I totally understand the battle between exhilaration with all that surrounds you, and the heart tug of missing family at Christmas. Reminds you how special it is!
So, could you please relay these questions/comments to the following:
Tish: Have you identified any gases from the gas chambers you are using? How long do you keep the sample ice core in? How many chambers do you have all together?
Kevin: I understand you're heading up the ice research- I am so proud of you!!How many seasons back do the deepest cores date? Do they layer? Does anyone have a light meter to take a reading on the reflectivity of the ice during a station? We are studying ice albedo and it would be awesome to have a true reading from the ice!
Agneta and Melissa: I don't think I got a response to the question of the identity of the "egg"- still not named? Are you doing any plankton tows? How does the gas chamber Tish is using compare to the apparatus you used last year to measure gases in the seawater? SKOL!
All for now Jeff- take care :) Lollie
