Resource Title:Project Iceberg: ANDRILL's Education and Outreach Site
Description:Project Iceberg is the education and outreach site for ANDRILL (ANtarctic geologic DRILLing), a research project to drill and recover cores of sedimentary rock from the sea floor beneath the McMurdo Ice Shelf in order to construct a history of paleoenvironmental changes that will guide understanding of the scope, speed, and frequency of glacial and interglacial changes in Antarctica. The site features videos, photographs, and blogs documenting the project. A set of multimedia interactives lets users meet the members of the team, study the history of exploration in Antarctica, learn about ANDRILL drilling technology, and observe the accumulation and melting of ice sheets and ice shelves. A set of video journals features team members at work and interviews with personnel, and a photo gallery presents images of team members and scenes of the Antarctic landscape. Some team members operate blogs to keep users informed about what is happening on the ice, and there is also an educators page which features links to lessons, activities, and other resources about Antarctica.

Here, you can follow ANDRILL , an international team of researchers in Antarctica. We are drilling rock cores to obtain a geologic record of the continent. This record allows us to look back in time to see how conditions on Earth have changed over millions of years. Meet the ARISE team- 8 educators from the United States, Italy, Germany, and New Zealand, who are working with the scientists in Antarctica. We would all love to hear from you! Keep in touch as we investigate the secrets in the rocks beneath Antarctica's icy blanket. Would you like to join us? Explore blogs, videos, photos, and postcards from the field! © ANDRILL 2007/2008.
