Great to see so many of you have joined

I'm thrilled to see that so many of you have entered the blog. You are all listed as authors and can add new posts as well as comment on old ones. This will be for the students, too, but I don't yet have their contact information in order to invite them. I took the initiative to set this up, based on some thoughts from last year's group. They wished they had some more time together, and this seemed like the easiest way to facilitate that. We can use this, and/or maybe a more 'official' venue to continue learning about each other after our trip, if people would like. 

For most of you, your English is far, far better than my non-existent Danish, but please post in whatever language you are most comfortable and force the rest of us to figure it out! And please do join in and tell us about yourself. This is not meant to be the formal 'science' site; I believe we are working with ARCUS to get some space on the PolarTREC site like last year's group did.  When that's ready, I hope to give you some advance information on things we are going to consider when we have our research opportunities.

until later....          kathy g
