CReSIS Aerial Survey of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet

Good Morning to everyone!!! A winter wonderland you are living in! Our Lego League is wondering what has been your highlight so far on this journey? What type of technology do you use to survey? Are there any robotics involved??? Mr. Gary...Have you busted out your WALL-E shirt yet??? Stay Warm and we will be watching over you from Kansas!

Peace! WALL-E and Mrs. Hillman

Hey WALL-E Gang,So glad to hear from you.   You want a single highlight....wow....that is hard... 
Knowing your interest in robotics I went to be a dive tender, see my journal,  and worked with the SCINI team (pronounced skinny) They use a remote controlled underwater  skinny sub.  check out their web page  google "SCINI 2009) also check out polartrec teacher Michele Cross' journals she has been working with them. 
In two days I head out to the field and will be in a remote location called Byrd Station on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet.  I also have a live event at 1pm kansas time on Thursday.  If you can manage it registar for directions on the polartrec web site
The WALL-E shirt will be making an appearence in camp.  Watch for the photo
SO glad you are trekking with me,
Gary

Hey!!!! I am part of the WALL-E team. My name is Erin Buckner. Remember Amy Hillman?! We just found out that ALL of us will be going to space camp in Alabama. It's going to be great. What have you done with that WALL-E shirt? Well, I heard that you were back teaching so I don't know why I am writing this. Hope you kept the WALL-E shirt.
