The different salinities (and therefore, different densities) of water help to stabilize the water column (by limiting

This Live from IPY! Event was held with PolarTREC Teacher Cameo Slaybaugh and her project PI, Stacy Kim who are members of the Antarctic Undersea ROV '08 PolarTREC expedition. The team talked about the underwater ROV, SCINI, and the research they are conducting in the waters surrounding Ross Island, Antarctica.
Live from IPY event held with Mindy Bell, Stacy Kim and the Undersea ROV team from McMurdo Station, Antarctica. There were approximately 12 teachers and 120 students on the event. Due to technical difficulties, the audio portion of the archive discontinues about 3/4 of the way through the event. Full audio is available in the event's separate audio file.
