Adelie Land AWS : Adelie Land AWS Serviced by Christophe Genthon “I should credit those who contributed with me attending the AWS this year. Alain Pierre (IPEV, coordinator of logistics for scientific activities at DDU/CP) was a crucial person all the way through (he will certainly again be in the future). Sebastien Cornec (IPEV contract, mechanics) and Frederic Champly (IPEV contract, medical doctor) contributed setting up the new D47 and D10 stations, respectively. I would not have been able to do much for the stations without them. And without you, of course! “
