Biologists in Antarctica: December 2014
https://biologistsinantarctica.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 26, 2014. Welcome to the 2014-2015 field season! I'm at the airport and ready to make a rather long and winding journey, via Sydney, to Christchurch, New Zealand, and eventually on to McMurdo Station in Antarctica. I'm looking forward to getting this travel over with and getting the field season started. We're doing some really exciting science this year, which I will write about in more detail later. Then I will post answers on the main page. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Anhad"On silde 20 of 64, Is there a sticker on a rock? I think what you're looking at is a lens flare, which is an effect that sometimes occurs in photos when the light hits your camera lens a certain way. In this case, I think it was because it was so sunny that day. Snow patches in the Taylor Valley, Antarctica.

Friday, January 23, 2015. Fish under the ice. Some of our colleagues with the WISSARD project drilled through hundreds of meters of ice on the Ross Ice Shelf and found life! Many of the biologists on this project also do really interesting work to understand the microbial life that lives under the ice in the lakes in the Dry Valleys. Read about the story here:.

Friday, November 30, 2012. A new field season! I gearing up for my third field season working in the McMurdo Dry Valleys in the Transantarctic Mountains. This year, our crew will be Eric Sokol (myself), Kevin Geyer, and Jeb Barrett. During a normal work day back in the United States you will find us somewhere in Derring Hall, which houses the Department of Biological Sciences at Virginia Tech. During the field season you will find us at McMurdo Station. In other news, some scientists from the MCM LTER ha...

Tuesday, February 5, 2013. Answers for Mrs. Happ's class. Mrs Happ's class wrote:. Dear Dr. Sokol,. Thank you so much for your wonderful answers – we are learning lots and now we have more questions about the glaciers. First of all, we were wondering if you have noticed any changes in the glaciers since you have been going to Antarctica. Is there any melting or perhaps more melting now than before? If so, does it change the amount of organisms you find when you are out collecting things? Dear Dr. Sok...
