Five participants will deploy between 15 October and 30 January in two periods; first from mid-October to mid-December, and next from late December to late January. One participant (Doran) will double-deploy to be present in both periods. The team will work out of camps Fryxell, Bonney, and Hoare, with a stay at Lake Miers, and they will also make some day trips to Wright and Victoria Valleys. The team will conduct diving operations in Lake Fryxell in January, focusing on the moats and under the lake ice near the moats. Field sites will be accessed on foot and by helicopter day trips. The group will use Dry Valleys laboratory facilities, and laboratory space at Crary Laboratory.
