Evergreen Senior High school graduate Mikhaila Redovian '15 researches global warming in Antarctica

HAMILTON, NY (04/29/2014)(readMedia)-- Redovian was part of a team navigating the icy shelves of the Antarctic as part of the Totten Project. The team is a multinational group composed of undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral students, as well as technicians and faculty members from various institutions.

The Totten Project is a ship-based marine geologic and geophysical survey of the Totten Glacier region in Antarctica. The researchers evaluated both the recent and long-term behavior of the glacier system and its relationship to the adjacent oceanographic system.

Redovian, a geology major, was busy with everything from battening hatches and keeping a ship log to taking core samples and collecting and analyzing sediment.
