- Five GOLF-439 Scientists from Oregon, Maine and California (and their team mascot "da Microbe") are traveling to Antarctica to study the "Rock Bottom" of the food chain in the extreme environments of McMurdo Sound. They will be based at McMurdo station of the US Antarctic Program (USAP) on Ross Island from where they will embark on trips to remote locations and field camps in the Antarctic Dry Valleys, at Cape Evans, on Mount Erebus and in the Royal Society Range. Targets of their investigations will include moorings below the ice of Lake Fryxell (Taylor Valley), experiments below the sea-ice using SCUBA diving, hydrothermal vents and ice caves in the glaciers of Mt. Erebus, as well as seasonal creeks running through volcanic terrain that are fed by glacial melting in the short Antarctic summer. Visit Expedition Website ...
- More than 80,000 References currently reside in the EarthRef Reference Database. The majority of these references have been added through a cooperative agreement with the American Geophysical Union where every month AGU provides EarthRef.org with all the reference information for its latest publications. This includes an Abstract to the publication and the Direct URL's into the AGU website, where the users can find the entire publication in both HTML and PDF formats.
- The EarthRef Reference Database now invites User Upload of references when these references do not yet exist in this database. EarthRef.org users may upload references to publications in journals, electronic journals, books, edited books, conference proceedings, M.Sc. and Ph.D. theses, internal reports and conference abstracts. Uploaded references will be immediately available to other users of the EarthRef.org website. Start your upload by using the panel Your Own References on the left that will always be available from this home page.
- The EarthRef Digital Archive (ERDA) invites User Upload of digital files. We recommend that you use this digital archive to store any digital file that does not fit into the structure used by the MagIC Upload Wizard found on the upper left of this page. Typical ERDA file uploads may include field work pictures, animations, video excerpts, custom software, location maps, white reports, workshop volumes, field trip guides, etc. Uploaded files will be immediately available to all users of the EarthRef.org website.

- The basic design of the EarthRef.org website has been updated based on feedback from many of its users. Currently, we are about to finish the Second Phase of this Redesign Project, in which we have improved the functionality and information displayed on the home pages for EarthRef.org, GERM, MagIC and ERESE. Each of these web sites will function as the Web Portal for its corresponding database, while taking advantage of the infra-structure provided by the EarthRef.org umbrella web site and database. Please check back with us on a regular basis to see how the design evolves over the next few months. We would appreciate your comments or suggestions through the Feedback form.
