How do I contact the AWS or AMRC projects?

You can contact us by several methods. One is by email. Another method is via telephone at: (608) 265-4816. Yet another is through regular mail at:

AWS or AMRC Project
947 Atmospheric, Oceanic, and Space Sciences
Space, Science and Engineering Center
University of Wisconsin-Madison
1225 W. Dayton St.
Madison, WI 53706

Does the AWS or AMRC send out messages regarding the status of certain items at the center?

Yes, we do! The AWS and AMRC projects have several email aliases that we use to send out items of interest. You may sign up to be on an iceberg status email list, in which we inform you of when the most recent iceberg image has been posted to the web. We also have a list of addresses that we send information to regarding the current technical status of the center. For example, if we are experiencing difficulties regarding the acquisiton of data, or if our web pages are experiencing difficulties, we send out an email to this list. Finally, we have several email lists that we send information to about when data is posted to our ftp sites - namely data for McMurdo Station, South Pole, Palmer, observations from USAP ships, and AWS data. To be placed on any of these lists, email the AWS project or the AMRC, indicating which address list you would like to be added to, and we will do that.

The lists available currently are:

  • ANTCOMMUNITY This list is a general list intended for Antarctic scientists, researchers, or those who wish to keep informed of Antarctic news and events. This is a relatively low traffic list.
  • ANTOPS This list is intended to keep people informed of problems with AWS/AMRC systems, the acquisition of data, or any other issues that arise that reduce the ability to access data.
  • ANTICEBERG This list is meant for anyone interested in icebergs - it's main purpose is to announce when a new image has been posted for the day. Occasionally discussions about the icebergs will occur.
  • ANTAWS This list keeps those interested in the AWS project informed of news with the project.
  • ANTOBS This list announces the posting of new data onto web or ftp sites.

Do you give lectures about Antarctica?

Certainly! We frequently give talks to schools, area organizations, or whomever asks.

Do you provide individual data requests?

We do provide data requests for individuals. Just email the AWS and AMRC projects telling us the location of the data needed, the type, and the dates, and we will do our best to accomodate you.
