Southern Ocean Circulation and overturning
PI(s):
Prof. Arnold L. Gordon The ring of deep water around Antarctica not only links the major ocean [Atlantic/Pacific/Indian] , but also produces dense waters along the continental margins of the frozen continent, which sinks

West Antarctic Ice Sheet Airborne Gravimetry
PI(s):
Dr. Robin E. Bell An airborne geophysical program over West Antarctica was designed to study the linkage between the West Antarctic Rift System and the dynamic evolution of the overlying West Antarctic Ice Sheet.
AGAP: Exploring the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains in Antarctica during the International Polar Year
PI(s):
Dr. Robin E. Bell
PI(s):
Dr. Michael Studinger Scientists from several nations are working together to launch a flagship program to explore a major mountain range buried by a large continental ice sheet and bounded by numerous subglacial lakes.
