Interdisciplinary Antarctic Earth Science Meeting with Shackleton Camp planning workshop
Save the Dates: September 20-22, 2015
Where: Sylvan Dale Ranch, Loveland, Colorado
This is to announce an NSF-sponsored Interdisciplinary Antarctic Earth Science Meeting (ANT-Sci), that is to provide a forum for current Antarctic research and exchange of information about interdisciplinary initiatives, collaborations, and future opportunities in Earth Sciences research. The meeting will immediately follow the annual West Antarctic ice sheet (WAIS) meeting, at the same venue.
ANT-Sci will be a 3-day long, single-session meeting, that will include invited and contributed presentations, daily poster sessions, and dedicated discussion time to promote exchange of ideas. The program will be guided by an interdisciplinary organizing committee that will identify unifying session themes based on community interest along with the critical questions identified by the U.S. Polar Research Board and the international Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research.
Relevant to a proposed Shackleton Camp logistics hub in the Transantarctic Mountains, the ANT-Sci meeting will include a dedicated session to communicate key information about the camp planning process, with contributions from NSF and Antarctic Support Contract staff.
Details on session topics, registration and lodging will follow, but please save the dates.
Please share this announcement with others, particularly graduate students, postdocs and early career scientists who may be interested but didn't receive this message.
