McMurdo Ice Shelf (MIS) Project


Climate and ice sheet models will expand these results around the Antarctic continent and provide constraints on the potential response by the Ross Ice Shelf and West Antarctic Ice Sheet to predicted future global warming scenarios.
Operational requirements and logistical support for the ANDRILL MIS Project were provided by Antarctica New Zealand through Scott Base (NZ) and Raytheon Polar Services Corporation through McMurdo Station (USA). The ANDRILL international partners in Germany, Italy, New Zealand and the United States provided funding for the ANDRILL Program.
