Hello, 

it's Levi from Jc Harmon In Kansas City, Kansas. 

I've Just a few questions.

I heard That it's Something Like 20*F. That must be pretty miserable. i personally Hate the cold. Which brings me to my first question...  

Do You ever wake up And just think.. "This Sucks"?   i Know i would. 

But it must be pretty awesome knowing you're doing something in terms of Research. What exactly Are you working on right now anyway? 

do you know how it'll help this or future generations?

Movies would probably make Antarctica seem like a dangerous place. I'm Not saying it's not, but i am wondering what your most dangerous Experience was. 

Well.. that's just about all the questions i can think of for right now.  i'll post Later, if you reply.  

Is this your first time doing this experiment?

 What kind of animal life  is there? Is there penguins, polar bears, and seals?

Missy, thanks for doing such a great job documenting our activities and capturing the day to day challenges and rewards associated with working in the high arctic.  You have been a tremendous asset to our group and an active participant in the research -- your hard work and positive demenor have been much appreciated - well done Missy!

I understand that the ice cores will be melted then stored in bottles at cool temperatures.

Before the melting are the cores cut and depth noted or is depth of the oxygen isotope values not a concern? Also at what temperature does the oxygen isotope change form?

Wow, I loved the entry about the photo research. What a great idea, and how fun would that be as a classroom activity using the Svalbard images or even pictures from spring melt anyplace.

How did he find out about that program?

I understand that the ice cores from the glacier are melted down then stored at a cool temperature.  Are the cores sectioned (cut) before they are melted so that the depth is noted before the oxygen isotope readings are taken or is depth of no concern. Also at what temperature does this particular oxygen isotope change?

Hello Ms. Holzer,

I have been following the expedition and reading your journals. They are very interesting. Thank you for taking many amazing photos, the area is beautiful. Best of luck in the last days left for field work. How are sediment cores preserved? How will they be transported to the labs?

Thank you,

If Jesse is not able to get enough samples what will happen to his project?
