The Science Advisory Board (SAB) of the NSF-funded Ice Drilling Program
Office (IDPO, http://icedrill.org) wants to ensure that it captures the
complete breadth of community input for ongoing and future needs of the
ice drilling science community. The SAB seeks to form two new working
groups, which will organize by teleconferences and webinars to update
the community about progress in ice drilling foci and receive input on
current community concerns and future needs.
The two working groups are:
(1) Working Group on Subglacial Access Drilling (WGSAD), which will
represent the broad range of scientists interested in gaining data from
beneath glaciers and ice sheets. The breadth of fields includes (but is
not limited to) basement and bedrock geology, Cenozoic sedimentary
basins, till, heat flow, exposure dating, stream hydrology (englacial,
subglacial), geochemistry, limnology, oceanography, and microbiology.
Ross Powell, currently on the SAB, will initially lead the group. Other
standing SAB members currently representing these communities are Jill
Mikucki for microbiology, and Howard Conway for exposure dating.
(2) Working Group on Borehole Logging (WGBL), which will represent the
broad range of scientists interested in deploying logging instruments in
glaciers and ice sheets. Ryan Bay and Gary Clow, who are both currently
on the SAB, will initially lead the group.
Deadline: Friday, 18 May 2012.
If you are interested in contributing to either of these working groups
and advising on future paths the U.S. ice drilling program should take,
please contact:
