Week 14 (November 22-28)

The first ever year-around research project done under the ice, in the Antarctica.  This will help to relate the ice, to the ocean to activities done underwater to make the sea-level rise.  Research is being done to see if warmer water is reaching the area, causing the sea level change.  The ice melts when the water is warmer, which makes sense, but research needs to be done specifically for this area.  More details to come...
