Biophysics of Cold Adaptation and Acclimatization.
The Animal Research Facility at the Naval Arctic Research Laboratory (NARL), provides scientists with logistic support and unique opportunities to study Arctic mammals maintained in an Arctic environment. During FY 77 in-house, visiting and field research projects resulted in 3500 man-hours of suppo...
