Dr. DuVernois Blog

For a while this will be focused on my trips to the South Pole to work on ARA and IceCube experiments as a physicist and instrumentation scientist from the Wisconsin IceCube Particle Astrophysics Center at the University of Wisconsin. Here Dr. DuVernois will ponder the world, the web, and all things in the middle. If that isn't a noble enough project, I'll also post interesting links. This web journal is held in lieu of a writing journal and continues my UMN, MySpace, and Facebook blogs.

The IceCube and ARA drillers have packed up all of their equipment, placed it into storage, and are now headed home. It's the best group of ice drillers in the world as far as we know. They did the hot water drilling for IceCube and ARA as well as RAM drilling for ARA this season. It'll be a far smaller crowd next year for the small-scale ARA deployments. But in a few years...
