Melting Antarctica: Measuring Climate Warming and Ecological Change at the Antarctic Peninsula
Welcome to Ice Stories: Dispatches from Polar Scientists.
A collaborative
effort with San Francisco ExplOratorium! In celebration of the International
Polar Year, our own Maria Vernet, one of the project leaders for the Palmer
Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) project gives an up-close-and-personal
look at the research on the Western Antarctic Peninsula. Her live telecasts
from Palmer station begin on January 4th, 2007. She will share her insights
into the research on the peninsula and take us with her into the field as
she explores the Antarctic waters for phytoplankton. Follow along as we post
her experiences, photo's, and videos right here or check out
