IDP Subglacial Access Working Group

The IDP Subglacial Access Working Group (SAWG) represents 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, microbiology, etc. The SAWG is one of the three standing working groups of the Science Advisory Board.
