1 Paul Carpenter IRIS / PASSCAL 6/11/2013

2 Outline Current Systems & Design Philosophy Schedule Logistics Challenges from Field Conditions Design philosophy

3 Current Systems & Design Philosophy Current systems well built and designed High data return Further refinement – Easy to install or service

4 JanuaryFebruaryMarchApril MayJuneJulyAugust SeptemberOctoberNovemberDecember Schedule Antarctic Prep Antarctic Shipping Antarctic Field Work Arctic Field Work Arctic Shipping Arctic Prep

5 Logistics to the Ice Long shipping lead times Documentation & paperwork Hold ups – Weather – Environmental – Mechanical

6 Logistics on the Ice Staging Area – Paperwork & coordination – Equipment handling – Storage Equipment Movement Pre Site visit prep Weather has a large role

7 Field life Big or small camp Several to no support staff Subjected to weather Camping life style Diet changes Removed from society 24 Hour Sunlight

8 Weather Dynamic weather – Low temperatures – Wind – Dry or Wet – Warm!? Clothing management Remember to review body condition

9 Climate & Terrain Snow & Ice – Crevasse – Blue Ice – Animals – Accumulation Altitude – 0’ to >10,000’

10 Field Crew at Site Physical state – Long hours – Fatigue, exhaustion Mental state – Stress – Distracted

11 Design Philosophy Easy to install or service – Pre-assembled – Ready and running – Minimal construction needed – Modular – Quick swap components – Easy to read and understand lights or screens

12 Design Philosophy cont. One Opportunity to Install or Service Focus – Sensor placement – Data recording
