ANDRILL (Antarctic Drilling Project) Results with Trevor Williams

PLUS -- TELECONFERENCE WITH TEACHERS IN ANTARCTICA!
 

The November and December E2C Workshops feature research contributions by LDEO scientists to the 2007 - 2008 International Polar Year. In our December Workshop, Trevor  Williams provides an update to his September 2006 E2C preview of the ANDRILL (Antarctic Drilling) Project. Trevor spent much of the 2006 - 2007 Antarctic summer on site in McMurdo Sound.

As a special addition, we were also able to teleconference with Louise Huffman, ANDRILL Coordinator of Education and Outreach and an ANDRILL scientist. They called from the McMurdo Base at 1:15 pm Saturday our time/7:15 am Sunday in Antarctica. Louise's associated presentation is available at http://www.arcus.org/_upload/files/ARISE%20Poster%20PPt.ppt 

We will also explore some of the educational materials created by an international team of ARISE (ANDRILL Research Immersion for Science Educators)  teachers, including Vanessa Miller Of NYC's Central Park East 2 School.
