No comments HANOVER, NEW HAMPSHIRE– Our traverse doctor, Ole Tveiten (I had a hard time getting the “ooo” right in Ole), luckily did not have much to do as a doctor, so he was put to work logging the cores, measuring and weighing them.
Zoe Courville studies snow and ice in the Arctic and Antarctica. She has a PhD in material science and works as a research mechanical engineer at the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Lab in Hanover, New Hampshire. During the summer of 2008, Zoe’s research took her to the top of the Greenland Ice Cap. From November 2008 through February 2009, she’s reporting from along a 1,865-mile (3,000 km) journey from the South Pole to Troll Station as part of the Norwegian–U.S. Scientific Traverse of East Antarctica. Zoe loves working in the polar regions and sharing her experiences with others.
