Antarctica Bound!
From January 5-12, 2010, Ann Posegate, Earth Gauge outreach coordinator, and Dan Satterfield, chief meteorologist at WHNT-TV, will embark on a media expedition to Antarctica. They have been selected by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to cover a range of science stories, including important weather and climate research. During their journey, Earth Gauge and WHNT will be reporting from the field through e-newsletters, Twitter, Facebook and the Web.
Ann and Dan will be visiting McMurdo Station, South Pole Station, the West Antarctic Ice Sheet and areas surrounding McMurdo, including the McMurdo Dry Valleys. Learn more about some of the major studies they will be investigating. (Please keep in mind that the itinerary is weather-dependent and may change unexpectedly.)
