He's currently in Antarctica doing research.
Hi Everyone,
Down in McMurdo trying to complete all of my trainings and check-outsbefore heading out to the deep field camp (WAIS-D: West Antarctic IceSheet - Divide). It will have a big ice core experiment happening thereover the next three years because of the 3400 m of ice and it is right atthe continental divide so they don't have to worry about "flow" of the icewith time as much as in other places.

Spent Thanksgiving out on the iceshelf in "snowcraft school". We learned survival techniques like buildingsnow structures, how to repair stoves, find someone in a white out, useVHF and HF radios etc. I slept behind a big ice block wall that I helpedbuild. The weather is cold and has been snowy but thankfully not muchwind. It is suppose to pick up tomorrow dropping the temps below zero (F)with the wind chill. I have snowmobile school and hazardous material handling on Monday.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. My freeze dried Turkey Teryakiwas memorable since I ate it sitting in a snow kitchen I also helped digout with Mt Erabus spewing its steam 20 miles away.
p.s. What kind of suggestions, Susan? If about reminding people, I think a couple months back I sent out an email to everyone, but the response was so nonexistent I am wondering whether the email reached them.
