US-ITASE is part of an international effort to characterize the climate record of the past 200 years over much of the Antarctic continent. Welch participated in the fourth year of the US-ITASE program using the St. Olaf College ground-based, radio echo-sounding radar system designed by Bob Jacobel, professor of physics and director of environmental studies, and six St. Olaf physics students, and funded by the Office of Polar Programs at the National Science Foundation.
