Why do you need to do research in Antarctica?

Answer 1

the two main reasons to research Antarctica is first, the ice under the surface is a time-line of the earth's atmosphere. Antarctica is a dessert and little precipitation and allows for a graphic time-line when drilled out in cores. Secondly, the atmosphere around the poles is important in measuring the global warming and the fear of the rising oceans because of glacial melting.

Answer 2

First, you need a question or a theory that addresses the health of planet earth. Then you need funding, which you can receive from a government that has either signed or ratified the Antarctic Treaty.

Next, you need to coordinate the research portions of your research project with support staffs, to insure that you have the research tools and access to the research areas that you require in order to answer your question.

Answer 3

According to the Antarctic Treaty, the earth south of 60 degrees south latitude is dedicated to science, to be shared among all signatories to the treaty.

In order to study the health of planet earth, scientists perform research in Antarctica. In order to perform this research, stations must be built to house people as they work there, and to provide interior spaces where the field research can be analysed, discussed and shipped back to the scientists' home base.
