Description

Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) activities encompass engineering and basic research in support of a variety of projects at both McMurdo and South Pole Stations. At McMurdo Station, CRREL supports ground-penetrating radar (GPR) work with the South Pole Traverse and support for the McMurdo Station airfields. CRREL also provides general engineering analysis for projects at McMurdo and South Pole Stations.

Field Season Overview

Fieldwork will be conducted at the current McMurdo Shear Zone camp as a part of the South Pole Traverse (SPoT) route. One person will deploy along with SPoT personnel for approximately one to three weeks to conduct GPR surveys of the route.
