The Antarctic geological Boundary Conditions (ABC) component of the SCAR -INSTANT programme is (finally) ‘launching’ by having an online meeting to discuss community priorities around understanding Antarctic boundary condit ions (e.g. geology, geomorphology, bed etc.) and their links with the overl ying modern and past ice sheet (see registration link below for info on are as for discussion).
We have planned a 1.5-2 hour online meeting (repe ated twice to enable those in different time zones to contribute at less an tisocial times) in which we will outline ABC and then have a series of disc ussions around possible work packages. Here, we are hopeful that the commun ity will come together and tell us what they either are doing, or what they want to do, and in doing so, we hope to populate some workpackages with sc ientists of all career stages. There is no need to prepare before the meeting – just turn up (see below) and get involved even if you have never been involved in SCAR activities before.
The meetings are scheduled for:
Meeting 1: 6pm UTC on June 8th
Meeting 2: 3am UTC on June 9th
To attend, please register by June 1st via the follow ing link so that we can enable a secure meeting: https://forms.office.com/r /iNuSdSddR6
Zoom links will then be sent out prior to th e meeting.
In the meantime, the ABC plan is available at: SC4 Ant arctic Geological Boundary Conditions (scar-instant.org)
