The meeting will take pl ace on May 10th-11th, 2021, held remotely. This is both a planning meeting and an open science meeting that will provide an opportunity to hear about some of the latest Antarctic ice core research, and to begin to develop new collaborations.\nThe Hercules Dome project is a major investment by the U. S. National Science Foundation (NSF), and represents a community platform f or research. Hercules Dome follows in the long tradition of deep ice core p rojects supported by the NSF, including the GISP2 project in Greenland, the WAIS Divide project in West Antarctica, and the recently-completed South P ole (SPICEcore) project, all of which have led to substantial scientific ad vances.\nDrilling at Hercules Dome is not expected to begin until 2024. Thi s means that there is time to develop novel ideas, and to find ways to get involved in the project, whether through measurements on the ice core, mode ling related to the ice and climate dynamics, meteorological observations i n the field, or innovative community engagement and education work. We enco urage participation from a broad cross section of the scientific community. \nIn preparation for the meeting, the Hercules Dome lead team will be hosti ng two informational webinars on March 23 at 1:00 p.m and March 31 at 9:00 a.m. (both Pacific time) that will include Q&A sessions.
