  1. International Workshop on Antarctic Permafrost and Soils November 14 to 18, Madison Workshop/SCAR coordination

  2. Greetings from the President of SCAR Jörn Thiede AWI Bremerhaven Germany

  3. Expert Group on • Permafrost and Periglacial Environments (EGPPE) • Chief Officer: Jan Boelhouwers, Uppsala University, Sweden • Deputies*: Jim Bockheim, University of Wisconsin, United States • Mauro Guguelmin, University Insubria, Varese, Italy • Secretary: Megan Balks, Department of Earth Sciences (chairperson), • University Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand • Two Deputy Chief Officers are identified because of the expected heavy workload • associated with this expert group.

  4. Geoscience Standing Scientific Group (GSSG) of SCAR Initiatives for the International Polar Year (IPY 2007-08) Climate Processes in the Polar Regions on time-scales from decades to millions of years (2. The Gamburtsev Mountains: Exploration of a sub glacial highlands) (3. Autonomous Remote Observatories) - only geodetic and geophysical 4. A bench mark map series 5. Outreach and Education: An Antarctic spatial data infrastructure

  5. Climate Processes in the Polar Regions on time-scales from decades to millions of years • Antarctic Climate Evolution (ACE) ...to understand the interactions of climate and the polar cryosphere in order to resolve global linkages between sea level, oceanic circulation and atmospheric systems. Outcomes....will provide geological constraints on modeling the future response of the Antarctic ice sheet to climatic change and global consquences. ? Where is permafrost? • Bipolar Climate Machinery (BIPOMAC) Will study the interplay of northern and southern polar processes in driving and amplifying global climate variability as recorded in paleoclimate archives. !paleoceanographic, paleolimnological, paleoatmospheric, continental ice volume/extent records! ? Where is permafrost? • Polar Ocean gateways (POG)

  6. A bench mark map series • Tectonic map of the Earths Polar Regions • Antarctic Digital Data Base • And many others • Antarctic Permafrost and Soils ? 5. Outreach and Education: An Antarctic spatial data infrastructure • Aims to create an Antarctic spatial data infrastructure (ANTSDI)

  7. There is a lot to do!!!!! 1.Step: Madison Workshop Next Step:

  8. Deadline for abstracts and travel grants: December 31, 2004
