newsletter is the quarterly update of the U.S. IDPO and Ice Drilling
Design and Operations (IDDO) group activities.
Topics highlighted in this edition include:
- The successful deployment of the IDDO's Two New Rock Coring Drills;
- The wrap up of the 2016-2017 Antarctic field season;
- Equipment development, including the Stampfli 2-Inch Drill, Rapid Air
Movement (RAM) Drill, and Sediment Laden Lake Ice Drill; - IDPO involvement in multiple education and outreach events;
- IDPO hosted a successful town hall at the American Geophysical Union
Fall Meeting; and - Requesting of ice drilling support.
The IDPO and the IDDO group were established by the National Science
Foundation (NSF) in 2008 to coordinate long-term and short-term planning
in collaboration with the greater U.S. ice science community and to
provide ice drilling and ice coring support and expertise for NSF-funded
research.
