There are a number of things that might be looked for in core samples of glacial ice that has accumulated over hundreds of years. \n\nThe gases that are dissolved in ice hundreds or thousands of years old can be compared to the gases in today's atmosphere to draw inferences about greenhouse gases and climate. So you might have climatologists. Microbiologists might be looking for extinct microorganisms. Many arctic areas were once tropical or temperate (plate tectonics, continental drift, and all of that), so paleontologists could be looking for fossils of long-extinct tropical plants and animals in an icy terrain. Maybe even dinosaurs.\n \nA palynologist might be looking for pollen in the core samples of ice, or in strata of soil under the ice to confirm a range of dates to help establish timelines of fossils found in other locations.\n\nPersonally, I'm rooting for the palynologist!

That is a lot of characters.  I would go to the following website:

A couple on a walk witnesses a car crash, from which a man in a lab coat (or something else if that's too cliche) comes stumbling out holding a small box.  He gives it to the person and says, "Don't let them have it," then dies.  \n\nWhat's in the box?  An electronic device that's warm to the touch?  A vial of cloudy liquid?  An internet address and a password?  Who's after the item?  At this point it becomes science fiction if the item is extraplanetary or sufficiently futuristic, or a mystery novel if it's more mundane.  It's all where you want to take it.\n\nIf you want something novel length, remember to give the protagonists multiple chances to solve whatever mystery they're entrusted with.  If they solve the problem first try then you have no story.  It's too short and too linear.  Readers don't like that.\n\nGood luck.

Look their names up on Yahoo, find some paper they are listed in or a website with their name. Write to the author and ask if they have any contact their those people.

Yes, you have to provide names of people you believe are knowlegable in the field and would give an unbiased and critical review of your paper. You probably don't want somebody you know too well. Consider people from your list of references.

It's funny. I wrote a short story called Shadow People that hasn't been published yet. I've also written The Spotted Hyena and Devils Hole which were published at sffworld.com Sounds like you have enough imagination to be a very good horror writer.

is it a writing class or an english class?\n\nif its english you probably want to stick with literature- compare two characters in the same book or two different books\n\nif its a writing class and the sky is the limit, then Id look at your interests- if you like animals, you could have a thesis around how having pets are beneficial to your health, if you are interested in history, you could have a thesis like "X event changed the world for the better/worse"\n\nPlay to your interests- if youre not interested in writing your paper, chances are your teacher wont be interested in reading it- it really makes a difference

Do an online search for professors who do such work. Good luck.

What kind of story do you want?  How short - like 200 words or 10,000 words?  On what subject?  Also what audience is the story for - should I include cultural references, sexual terms, violence?\n\nIf you give me guidlines I will be more than happy to write the story for you, if you are in a rush I could adapt a section of my novel (although my novel is copyrighted material so you would not be able to publish the short story).

An exact definition of a good scientific article is hard. It must be clear and novel without missing parts of the story. As well it must not give unnecessary details, but just the core.

Do your own homework...\n\nbut direct characterization is where the author comes out right and says characteristics.  So look for descriptions and introductions of characters in the book.

Some chemists, especially organic chemists or biochemists.

Arthur C Clarke, I believe, wrote a wonderful short story called "The Star" you should check it out if you can. It does pertain to your question as well.
