The last wordResearch associates answer the question: What's the best or most interesting thing about your job?Posted July 24, 2009
Robert Fuhrmann, South Pole Station“There are those moments when the moon is down, the wind is barely blowing, the sky is blazingly clear with stars and the Milky Way Galaxy, and auroras are out in full swing that makes the walk out to ARO memorable. … The sense of remoteness and calm well beyond the station is difficult to put into words.”
Neal Scheibe, Palmer Station“Satellite imagery and working with the weather. It’s something I don’t inherently understand coming into this position, so I find myself spending a lot of time learning more about it. It’s a pretty fascinating field, looking at the weather patterns and how they move. I understand why there’re so many people who work on it, and they can’t accurately predict the weather yet.” Jason Bryenton, McMurdo Station“Being here, working with researchers, and on projects that give insight into where we fit, is by and far the most interesting part of my job.”
