We have completed sampling and I will be heading back to McMurdo tomorrow to begin analysis.
My main goals will be to concentrate a large volume of sample onto filters. More details and pictures to come once I return to McMurdo.

Welcome SHS Students!
I am a graduate student at LSU investigating the geomicrobiology of Taylor Glacier. I have been on two expeditions to Antarctica as part of a field research team. This blog is part of my science outreach project to K-12 students in Louisiana. I hope that it will allow students witness scientific research in action, and perhaps encourage those interested to pursue scientific careers in the future.
