When you see the names DYE2, EGIG, GRIP, Ice Bridge and MABEL you view the elite list of Arctic science projects that deliver(ed) groundbreaking climate information through the last 50 years, and if all goes as [<a href="http://blogs.ei.columbia.edu/2012/04/11/connecting-the-past-the-present-and-the-future-to-understand-climate/">...</a>]]]></description>
