Summary:
Dr. Mikucki, participating in the polar postdoctoral program, is conducting research on the 
microbial ecology of Blood Falls. Her research is a continuation of previous work conducted with the 
McMurdo Long-term Ecological Research (LTER) project. Dr. Mikucki requested UNAVCO equipment and 
engineering services to locate sampling sites and all exposures of iron precipitates around the 
perimeter of Taylor Glacier, including Blood Falls. UNAVCO provided two GPS receivers, an engineer 
to assist with the field measurements and data post-processing.
