	Civil Engineering Magazine - December 2000
		Although a number of Antarctic coastal stations have employed the idea of a pier-foundation to allow for the seasonal scouring and control of drifting snow, the first emergence of a truly "elevated" station was Australia's Casey Station.
		As Old Casey was approaching the last several years of its occupancy, Germany was implementing a new approach to overcoming snow drifting and deposition on the opposite side of the continent.
		Germany's Filchner station was the first example of a jackable platform concept and was occupied for 17 summer seasons before it was marooned on a calved section of the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf, rescued, and placed in storage.

	Printer Friendly Version of Live music sizzles at WERS radio
		Casey, Paiste and Haar all agree that WERS is a station unlike most others and they are proud of the high-quality equipment and the station’s wide coverage area, which, general manager Casey says is due to antenna height.
		Jack Casey, the station’s general manager (a professional and non-student), says that many college stations are run by students, but he feels what makes WERS different is the station’s mission: “To train future leaders of the media industry; provide a compelling product for listeners in the Boston area; and reflect the quality of the institution.”
		Allison Haar ’05, the station’s live mix coordinator, says the student engineers she assigns to run the mixes have to go through “very intense” training and work their way up before they are selected to engineer a live mix.

	Update
		The training he gave us at Casey helped get us familiar with the station procedures, where it was safe to walk and where not to walk around the station, and he provided us with some survival skills just in case we get caught out in a blizzard or if an accident occurs.
		At Casey, our instructor was John Burgess, a very capable and knowledgeable climber and outdoorsman from Hobart who teaches outdoor survival to young people when he's not in Antarctica.
		At every station I've visited in the Antarctic, a certain amount of field training is necessary before you can begin your research.

		I have since learned that neither of these was the first, and that Australia's Casey Station was rocked with unrest on previous occasions.
