Who's on the Ice IPY logo

The USGS Wyoming Water Science Center will deploy one scientist to Antarctica during the 2007-08 summer field season.

Photo of Seth Davidson Seth Davidson is a Hydrologic Technician with the USGS Wyoming Water Science Center. He has been involved in various activities describing the quality and quantity of Wyomings' and Montanas' water resources throughout his career with the USGS. While "on the ice" Seth will be responsible for assisting with the day-to-day operation of the McMurdo Dry Valleys Long-Term Ecological Research project’s streamgaging network. Operating and maintaining the array of scientific equipment necessary for accurate streamflow measurements in the harsh Antarctic environment will be one of Seths' main challenges. The most significant of those challenges will be the continued upgrading of instrumentation Ray Woodruff initiated during the 2005-06. Ultimately Seth hopes to bring real-time streamflow information from two gaging stations on the Onyx River to the world.
