This PolarConnect event was held on 16 December 2010 with Heidi Roop who is working with an ice core drilling team on the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. This live event was broadcast and had a live component at the AGU 2010 Fall Meeting.
Nature creates its own density column in marine systems, which is extremely important for the triggering of the spring bloom of phytoplankton. Phytoplankton are an important food source for all organisms- from microscopic zooplankton to large marine mammals such as walrus and whales. The different salinities (and therefore, different densities) of water help to stabilize the water column (by limiting
This PolarConnect Event was held on 19 August 2010 with PolarTREC Teacher, Jim Pottinger, Nicolas Bayou (PhD Student at CIRES University of Colorado at Boulder), Katrine Gordham (Science Project Manager with Polar Field Services), John Augustine (NOAA), and Ken Jensen (Station Manager, CH2MHILL). They talked about living and working at Summit Station, including information about the Automatic Weather Station project
