The McMurdo Dry Valleys are the largest ice-free region of Antarctica. They were first discovered by Robert F. Scott’s party in the early 1900’s, and have since become an important scientific resource for research on fundamental life sciences, geology, and extraterrestrial studies. Dr. Gooseff has been conducting research in the Dry Valleys since 1998 and is currently leading a large long-term ecological research project there. He will discuss some of the science and natural and human history of the dry valleys.
Dr. Michael Gooseff is Professor of Hydrology, Water Resources & Environmental Fluid Mechanics Environmental Engineering
