Objectives Identify scientific questions that can be addressed only by winter research. Identify alternatives (e.g., remote sensing, ASA support) to winter deployment. Define the additional logistic and scientific support that will accompany a winter program. Describe the educational possibilities that higher level winter deployment would offer, particularly as it relates to the role of the Crary laboratory. Describe any environmental impacts that an elevated winter effort may cause. Define the safety issues surrounding winter research in the McMurdo region as far away as the dry valleys. Recommend strategies for funding winter projects.
