Antarctic Sciences

Abstract
The understanding of polar systems is important because they will be modified as climate change develops. Currently, our efforts related to Antarctic sciences are focused on modeling highly stratified lakes that have a perennial cover of ice, such as those located in the McMurdo Dry Valleys.
