The US AMLR Program has
successfully completed the 2007-08 field season!
After closing both the Cape Shirreff and Copacabana field stations, the R/V Yuzhmorgeologiya returned to port in Punta Arenas on Saturday, March 15th. With the close of this field season, the AMLR Program has now completed 22 consecutive years of surveys in the Antarctic peninsula region.
The 2007-08 cruise plan plus our weekly situation reports from both field stations and the research vessel are available on the 2008 AMLR Field Season webpage. Additional information about the AMLR field season projects, including collaborations and participations on other 2008 field programs, is available on our AMLR IPY 2008 webpage. Christopher Jones participated in CAML IPY Ross Sea cruise hosted by New Zealand; reports from the field, blogs and videos for that cruise are posted here.
Stay tuned for information on future field projects!
