News

A DVD documentary of the Arctic Ice Dynamics Joint Experiment (AIDJEX) second pilot study is now available through NSIDC. From the documentation:

“The project described in this documentary was a pilot study conducted in 1972 in preparation for the AIDJEX main experiment of 1975 to 1976. The study included a main camp on drifting sea ice in the Beaufort Sea north of Alaska along with two satellite camps forming a station triangle with a 100 km side length. A detailed description of the observational program and a running account of the results can be found in the AIDJEX Bulletin series published between 1970 and the end of the project in 1978. The Bulletin is accessible in hard copy in the Roger G. Barry Resource Office for Cryospheric Studies at NSIDC. The Polar Science Center at the University of Washington maintains an AIDJEX electronic library (http://psc.apl.washington.edu/aidjex/). It includes downloadable copies of the contents of all 40 AIDJEX Bulletins, AIDJEX Operations Manuals for the Pilot Study and the Main Experiment, and other resources.”

Thanks to everyone who worked to get the catalog page and documentation published, especially Ann who worked without any notice to complete the project for us.

Gloria has converted the USGS Professional Paper series from journal to monograph (i.e., book), and you will find them under the call # 55. To check them out, you will fill out the book card in the back of the item. If you need help, please contact Gloria or Allaina.
