Jack is going to the Greenland ice sheet at Summit in mid March to early May 2004 to measure reactive chemicals in and justabove the surface snow at a time when the frozen landscape begins to emergefrom months of perpetual darkness. Jack will lead a team of 12 other researchers from Georgia Tech, UC Irvine, UC Davis, the University of Arizona, the National Centerfor Atmospheric Research, the Cold Regions Research and EngineeringLaboratory, and NASA. While Jack has been going to the scientific research facility at Summit annually since 1989, with funding from the National Science Foundation, this is the first time a large contingent of researchers will operate in such extreme conditions in an effort to make measurements at the site.
