  4. IPA Working Groups • Antarctic Permafrost and Periglacial Processes • (Bockheim, Boelhouwers) • Coastal and Offshore Permafrost - ACD (Hubberten) • Cryosol (Pfeiffer) • Isotope and Geochemistry of Permafrost (Sletten) • Periglacial Landforms, Processes and Climate (Matsuoka) • Mapping and Modeling of Mountain Permafrost • Permafrost and Climate – GTN-P/CALM (Nelson) • Permafrost Astrobiology (Gilichinsky, McKay) • Standing Committee on Data, Information, and • Communication (Brown, Balks)

  5. Expert Group on Permafrost and Periglacial Environments • Coordination, communication and exchange of data • Collect and collate spatial on permafrost and cryosols • Develop monitoring protocols and networks • Promote international cooperation and field research • Address scientific questions related to permafrost, soils and periglacial processes

  6. Expert Group on Permafrost and Periglacial Environments • Address scientific questions related to permafrost, soils and periglacial processes: • age of permafrost • impact of climate • physical and chemical weathering • processes along environmental gradients • role in biodiversity • research methods • impacts • astrobiology and planetary analogues

  7. EGPPE Plan (2004-2010) • SCAR review and presentations at IPA NICOP (2008) • White paper on State of Antarctic Permafrost Science • Prepare map of permafrost and ground ice of southern circumpolar region • Prepare soils map of southern circumpolar region • Prepare permafrost database (permafrost, active layer, ground ice) • Maintain online bibliography and research
