Science Update Morning trace metal and conventional CTD cast in the shallow waters at the mouth of the Neumayer Strait. We began transiting through the strait around 1000 in order to reach another sampling station back in the Gerlache Strait. Various sizes of sea ice and icebergs are spread out

THREE DAYS UNTIL THE POLARCONNECT EVENT Time is running out to sign up for this live presentation from Antarctica! The presentation starts at 1:30pm EST on Monday, October 3rd. Register for the PolarConnect event here. ##Science Update After

Science Update The science team has been working non-stop for the past few days. Between wrapping up the first incubation experiment, moving ahead with the next two incubation experiments, setting up individual experiments and station sampling along the Palmer LTER, every member of the science

So why study neutrons? Where do they come from? For the most part this has to do with the sun. When we study neutrons we can learn about the sun. But the neutrons don't come from the sun itself. The sun can be very active. Changes in the sun's active surface can get it to eject high energy particles

5 Days Until PolarConnect Event! Are you registered for the live PolarConnect event on Monday, October 3rd @ 1:30pm (EST)? If not, click here. Hope to see you virtually in a few days! ##Science Update The science team is powering through another

Science Update We have finished our sampling in this area of the Drake Passage and are heading towards another sampling station. While underway, the science team is collecting final samples on Incubation 1. The science team refers to this process as 'crashing the bottles'. Final samples for 30

If there's anyone between the ages of 12 and 18 in Friday Harbor that hasn't heard about our upcoming Antarctic expedition, I'd be surprised. A goal for the final days leading up to my departure for McMurdo Station is to familiarize as many local students as possible with Antarctica, the US

NASA is in the Building! What an amazing day in Denver! We were so lucky to get to have a visit from John Woods from NASA! ### The Long Wait It seems like more than 6 months ago that all the 2016-17 PolarTREC teachers met in Fairbanks, Alaska for our orientation. Well, it actually was that long

Expeditions: 1911 to 2016 ##What to wear? Packing for Antarctica is no easy task - there have been hundreds of research expeditions to Antarctica and packing is always a topic of conversation. What to bring? What to leave behind? Survivability is paramount in the harsh conditions of the Antarctic

Science Update Today we are sampling in the Drake for a number of different experiments. We are setting up Incubation 3 as well as a number of experiments for some of the graduate students from the University of Rhode Island. We will do at least 7 casts today using both the trace metal and
