Summary:  The I-349 team, working under Andrei Kurbatov set up camp on the Alan Hills blue ice area to re-measure ablation and ice movement.  The team also collected ice core samples in an attempt to quantify green house gasses trapped within the ice stream dating past the last two significant climate change events.  The team was provided with training and two complete GPS systems.  UNAVCO also provided data archiving.
