Antarctic Research


 ICEAGED is an NSF funded project to study long term ecological change in Antarctic seafloor communities.  Using an ROV and SCUBA, we will be collating research initiated 47 years ago by our collaborator Paul Dayton at Scripps.  Our legacy will be a database that will provide a baseline and inform future benthic work in the region.
