Doug Kowalewski investigates ancient buried glacial ice in Antarctica and studies past climate conditions that have allowed for long-term preservation of the ice. He is a NSF Postdoctoral Fellow at the UMass Amherst Climate System Research Center. He uses ice sublimation models and regional scale climate models to calculate the range of temperatures for the McMurdo Dry Valleys over the past 8 million years. This will be his fourth trip to Antarctica, and he is excited that the ice coring during this field season will recover some of the oldest ice on the planet.
