This blog was originally intended to share the experiences of our group while we conducted field work in Antarctica during the Austral winter/spring of 2011. The further I get into analysis however, the more I find myself needing a place to document progress and solutions to problems. I’ve been using a more “raw” space accessed via the Research Wiki link in the header of this page for this, but will now start using this blog space for more polished ideas and solutions.
A major motivation for doing this is to make my solutions and ideas accessible to others who might be doing similar work. Almost every day I rely on someone’s blog or forum post to overcome an analytical problem.
For those who followed the Antarctica Blog (thank you!) the format will be a little different. I envision that the posts will be shorter and more technical, however I’ll try to keep it entertaining and informative. Due to an excessive number of spam comment posts I’ve disabled new subscriptions, however I might change this in the future.
