Summary: Howard Conway and the I-209 team researched the potential for rapid de-glaciation of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Research took place on Roosevelt Island, and the field team installed and surveyed a network of poles using UNAVCO provided GPS equipment. Poles will be resurveyed next season to calculate surface motion. Overall research goals are to understand past, present, and future environmental changes in the Ross Sea sector of West Antarctica.
