Summary: Dr. Pettit's goal was to enhance the understanding of how crystal fabric records climate information and the feedback mechanism between ice flow and fabric development. This involved a field event near Concordia Station to access the Dome C borehole to lower an instrument that measures sonic velocity in the ice and make direct measurements on ice from the Dome C ice core. Dr. Pettit's team was provided 3 GPS instruments.
