Wherever UNL Chancellor James Zumberge
goes, the Ross Ice Shelf project follows.
Zumberge, a former professor of geology, was
a recipient of a $1 million research grant of the
U.S. National Science Foundation as a part of
the U.S. Antarctic Research Program. The grant
is to be used for research of the Ross Ice Shell,
according to John Splettstossen. The
management office of the project is located at
UNL.
The Ross Ice Shelf is a floating mass of ice
attached on most of its sides to Antarctica. Its
size is equal to that of Spain, Splettstossen said.
The Ross Ice Shelf project evolved from the
interest of scientists who believe that a number
of scientific problems could be solved if holes
were drilled through the Ross Ice Shelf to sample
the ice and the bottom sediments, he said.
Scientists and students
Splettstossen said scientists from 12 countries
spend from early October until the end of
January at Antarctica doing experiments in
which holes are drilled in the ice.
He said a total of 60 scientists including three
UNL students participated last fall in the field
work at Antarctica.
October 1975 will mark the third year the
scientists have traveled to Antarctica for field
projects, Splettstossen said. After the projects
field work is done, data collected is fed into
computers at UNL for data statistics.
The first step in the examination of the Ross
Ice Shelf involved a geophysical and glaciological
program that was begun in the lt)73-lt)74 field
season and will continue for several years, he
said. The program is designed to measure ice and
water thicknesses, snow accumulation, surface
movement, and response of the shelf to tides.
The program of drilling through the ice shelf
began in 1975-76.
Core drilling
Splettstossen said the RISP management
office also has similar responsibilities for the
Greenland Ice Sheet Program, a multinational
interdisciplinary program to investigate the near
surface and inner nature of large ice masses by
core drilling, core studies and geophysical and
airborne remote sensing techniques.
Because of the heavy involvement of ice core
drilling in these polar projects the RISP
management office has become a center for the
development and construction of ice-core drilling
equipment and its use, he said.
Splettstossen said the management office is
staffed by a director, a co-director, two field
operation managers, a drilling research associate
and a secretary. The staff works closely with
research investigators and personnel from the
National Science Foundation's Office of Polar
Programs to plan and conduct the details of
research programs being managed by the RISP
management office.
He said students will again be hired this year
for the field work at Antarctica. Any student
who applies is eligible. The students will be
responsible for putting markers on the ice for
measurement and surveying these markers and
recording appropriate data.
The students as well as those involved in the
project are paid through the grant financing.
They are employed full-time except for those
hired on a seasonal basis.
Splettstossen said the six employes arc paiu
through the university payroll. The university
receives the money for salaries from the
foundation.
