10 Nov    Lamont Contributions to the
IPY (International Polar Year), part 1:
Exploring Polar Regions with Geophysical Tools

Guest Scientist: Michael Studinger
 

 The Earth2Class Workshops this Fall feature two special themes: the “IODP (Integrated Ocean Drilling Program) 'School of Rock' Workshops” and the “Lamont Contributions to the IPY (International Polar Year)”. 

The November and December E2C Workshops will feature research contributions by LDEO scientists to the 2007 - 2008 International Polar Year. In this Workshop, Michael Studinger, who has previously discussed his Lake Vostok and other research in Antarctica with us, will describe some of the LDEO research conducted in conjunction with the IPY. He will particularly share some of his recent geophysical explorations of both the Arctic and Antarctic.

Here are links to Michael's previous E2C Workshop talks:

LDEO scientists, including Michael Studinger and Michael Passow, participated in the "New York City International Polar Weekend" at the American Museum of Natural History in March 2007 that marked the official start of the IPY. For selected images, see the "Multimedia" section.
