Biodiversity of the Antarctic Region: Is it a Losing Battle?

Overview

Case studies provide a brief overview or examination of events that impact or alter the way people function and live day to day within the human and physical environment. They help by providing students with “real world” examples that relate to the theoretical content they are studying.

Objective

Students will prepare a case study illustrating the impact

Lakes in Dry Valleys, Antarctica

The Antarctic Research Group at Boston University is lead by Dr. David Marchant. Graduate students include Adam Lewis, Doug Kowalewski, and Kate Swanger.

Marchant's ongoing NSF funded research projects focus on:

1. Age, origin, and climatic significance of buried ice in the Dry Valleys region, southern Victoria Land

2. Response of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet to middle Miocene global
