There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Summary Sentence: The Spring 2022 OSE Seminar Series -- Benjamin Hurwitz, OSE Ph.D. Candidate
Full Summary: The seminar is offered both virtually and in person on the 3rd floor of ES&T in the new Ocean Room.
SP2022 ImageAntarctica is considered one of the final frontiers. It holds great interest for many scientific fields as a place (perhaps) less contaminated by humanity, and captures the imagination as one of the coldest, driest, and most remote places on the globe. After participating in field work spanning 3 seasons, six projects, and forty+ deployments of three different Icefin vehicles in a dozen separate locations around the Ross ice shelf, I have gained a sense of familiarity with what a field season and field work in the harsh Antarctic environment looks like. Here, I will detail the hands-on scientific process and outcomes for some of the various on-continent projects we’ve undertaken, with a focus on the realities and unexpected nature of field work in the frozen southern-most desert.
