27th September – First match point

  • Education

Almost there.

The good climatic conditions of the last few days meant the researchers were able to accelerate the ice core drilling operations. The top of the ice core drilling system is currently located at a depth of 70 metres below the surface of the glacier. According to georadar measurements made in recent years (2008, 2009, 2010), the glacier’s depth was estimated at not more than 75 metres.

This is the “first match point” of our little adventure, as Paolo Gabrielli, team coordinator, told us, slightly moved, yesterday.

 

The Glaciology camp for students ended last Sunday and we would like to dedicate to them our Daily Picture Gallery, which has been created using pictures provided by some of the participants.

Thanks to the cooperation with the Foundation, a lot of material produced by the students themselves was collected: pictures, videos, blog-posts and manuscripts. All these documents will be used for some sort of journalistic investigation, which is currently being prepared by the Foundation and which will be used to create a collective diary of the educational activities. This, again, should help to evaluate the efficiency of this kind of teaching.

We would also like to inform you that we have published a List of all the Picture Galleries available.
