Science Advisory Board

The IDP convenes a Science Advisory Board (SAB) for the purpose of forming and updating a Long Range Science Plan that addresses multiple science disciplines and associated technology. Below are the current members of the SAB as well as SAB-related documents. The SAB also convenes two standing working groups: Englacial and Subglacial Access and Ice Core.

Working Groups

During its 2012 meeting, the IDP Science Advisory Board (SAB) voted to add elements to its structure to include standing working groups by including the existing Ice Core Working Group and forming two new working groups: Borehole Logging Working Group (BLWG) and Subglacial Access Working Group (SAWG). In 2023, with access to the polar ice sheets beginning to open following the pandemic years, the SAB recommended that the SAWG and BLWG cease as separate groups. Instead, a single new working group, the IDP Englacial and Subglacial Access Working Group (ESAWG), was formed. The ESAWG provides an opportunity to develop and articulate new visions for U.S.-led englacial and subglacial science for the coming decade in the IDP Long Range Science Plan.

Other working groups may be added in the future if there is a need. Each working group will have a membership including a SAB member, and will hold virtual meetings through teleconferences and webinars to provide broader community input to the SAB for use in forming the Long Range Science Plan and other actions relevant to the working group interest.
