went in this last month. So, it will be a while until she
hears whether it’s funded. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;

that proposal with no access to the field site. I presume
this will be a significant stumbling block to getting this
funded – as Rachael points out, without a letter of
support. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt;
font-family: "Calibri",sans-serif; color:

project that is pretty significant. All of our students
have dual roles down here – they have to do a set of
things to keep the monitoring programs going and then they
work in their science. If she came down, she would have
to be on the limno team and provide that support. But,
this seems like a lot of additional work to try to add in
if she’s also on the limno team… I think it’s a
reasonable response that you sent to her, John. I don’t
know how this will shake out in our discussions in March,
but if she doesn’t get her GRFP funded and we don’t give
her a slot, April will be the deadline for her and her
advisor to submit their own full blown proposal. I think
we need to make a judgement about whether this is mission
creep or not. If it can be linked to our MCM4 hypotheses,
then it’s justifiable to bring her down and do this work.
If not, then we’re taking the place of NSF by facilitating
her research and that’s not a position we want to be in,
particularly with the level of scrutiny that’s likely to
be associated with the proposed work.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

to the field. Her proposal says that they will
collaborate with me and other colleagues to collect
samples from Fryxell. I never said that I would do
this and anyone I take has to be involved with all
limno runs and sample analysis in McMurdo. Note that
their proposed work will require a transect of
sediment cores and water samples through Fryxell. This
will require environmental paperwork showing that the
cores will be collected cleanly, request for a corer,
and meter resolution collection of water samples at
each site (note that we only get a freshwater lens
below the ice when there is streamflow—most of the
time the ionic strength is greater just below the ice
due to freeze segregation.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">My
name is Nora Richter, I am a first year graduate
student in the Brown-MBL program and I am being
co-advised by Yongsong Huang and Linda
Amaral-Zettler for my thesis. Yongsong mentioned
that he contacted you this past month about
possible fieldwork options in Antarctica, and
potentially collaborating with you and your team
during the 2016-2017 field season.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">This
year I intend to apply for travel funds to support
my research at McMurdo, and I would also be
willing to assist your research group in the
2016-2017 field season if I am able to go. James
W. Head is also part of my advising committee and
has done work at McMurdo in the past; he has
agreed to assist me with any additional planning.
I have also conducted field work in the past in
Svalbard, Greenland, and the Swiss Alps (I
attached a copy of my CV). </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: black;">I
recently applied for the NSF graduate student
fellowship with my proposed project in Antarctica
(see attached). Briefly, I intend to analyze
haptophytes and alkenones from Lake Fryxell to
assess species assemblages, alkenone production
under extreme conditions, and use hydrogen and
carbon isotopes to more accurately track changes
in glacial melt. I am currently working on
analyzing samples I received from Rachael
Morgan-Kiss and Sarah Spaulding to better inform
my project and hypotheses.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
