Field season overview:
This field season, most team members will travel in day-trip deployments to five field sites to collect samples and to perform short-term in-situ experiments. These include Don Juan Pond (Wright Valley); Labyrinth (Don Juan Pond); Cape Bird penguin colony; Lake Colleen (Garwood Valley); Lake Bonney (Taylor Valley); Lake Vanda (Wright Valley). Work at Crary Lab will involve processing samples, establishing short-term laboratory incubations to parallel and complement field experiments, and culturing of bacteria at low temperatures.
