ASPeCt Meeting at the SCAR 2012 Open Science Meeting

An ASPeCt group meeting was held on the afternoon of July 13th and all day July 14th 2012 in the specialist groups session, prior to the SCAR 2012 Open Science Meeting. The summary report and any documentation are posted below.

With the beginning of new co-sponsorship by the Climate and Cryosphere Program (CLiC) of WCRP as well as continuing SCAR sponsorship, ASPeCt will be reconstituted into a larger group of associated interested investigators, divided into working groups on particular topics, and a science steering committee to provide continuity and coordination with sponsors and affiliated programs. Other major topics to be discussed are an outline for the Science and Implementation Plan for the next ten years of ASPeCt and integration of ASPeCt observing programs with the Southern Ocean Observing System (SOOS) during that period. SOOS has as one its objectives, The Future of Antarctic Sea Ice, and ASPeCt will have major responsibilities for those observations needed to fulfill that objective.

For any urgent questions, please contact Stephen Ackley or Marilyn Raphael.

ASPeCt Meeting at the Sea-ice IGS Symposium 2010

Summaries to come.

Antarctic Sea Ice During IPY Meeting at the Gordon Research Conference 2009

Summaries to come.

International Workshop on Antarctic Sea Ice Thickness

Hobart, Australia
5 - 7 July 2006

The aim of the workshop will be to bring together members of the Antarctic sea ice community who have an active interest in measuring sea ice thickness, or using sea ice thickness data. This will cover all disciplines of field science, remote sensing, and modelling, and will also include representatives from data management and related scientific disciplines.

Discussion of IPAB implementation during IPY

Hobart, Australia
11 July 2006

Meeting in conjunction with SCAR Physical Sciences Standing Committee to discuss drifting buoy deployments in the Antarctic Sea Ice zone during IPY.

For more information, please contact Christian Haas.

SCAR Business meetings and Open Science Conference

Hobart, Australia

The XXIX meeting of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research will include three separate but related events:

8 - 11 July 2006 - Meetings of the SCAR Standing Scientific Groups
12 - 14 July 2006 - SCAR Open Science Conference
17 - 20 July 2006 - XXIX SCAR Delegates Meeting

International Glaciological Society Symposium on Cryospheric Indicators of Global Climate Change

Cambridge, England
21 - 25 August 2006

This symposium will promote discussion of the evidence for changes in all components of the global cryosphere, their interdependence and causes, our current ability to model these changes, and what they tell us about changing global climate.

For more information, please see the IGS Symposium 2006/Cambridge Website.
