Contributions[]
- Kelly Jemison took part in the ANDRILL (ANtarctic geologic DRILLing) project as one of two undergraduate student from Florida State University . A project to find stratigraphic records using Cape Roberts Project. ANDRILL is a collaboration with Germany, Italy, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States to understand the frequency, size, and pace of interglacial and glacial changes in Antarctica.[4][5]
- As a graduate student she studied microfossils at Florida State University.[6]

Awards[]
The Antarctica Service Medal; awarded by the United States Government. Aside from Kelly Jemison, only 11 others were awarded this honour since the award's conception in 1960 by the United States Congress[citation needed]. This distinction recognizes both military service personnel and civilians that served in Antarctica either for research or defence purposes benefitting the United States of America.[7]
