Antarctic Theme

This site is intended primarily for intra-project coordination
The application driver for the Antarctic theme involves the design, construction, deployment and 'GRID-ification' of a remote sensing device on a lake in the Antarctic, and the support of the scientists involved in using this device and its data.
