Every austral summer – our winter in the Northern Hemisphere – scientists from around the world converge on Antarctica to study everything about the continent. This year, Rutgers will send an unusually large delegation to study the physical oceanography and geochemistry of its seas, and to document and explain what they’re doing for 24 middle- and high-school teachers and their students with blogs, photos and phone calls.

“This is the largest group Rutgers has ever sent,” says Oscar Schofield, professor of marine science in the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences.
