Scientific Drilling in the Polar Regions

The NSF Ice Drilling Program (IDP) will hold the AGU Town Hall on Scientific Drilling in the Polar Regions on Wednesday, 11 December 2024, from 18:00 - 19:00 Eastern Standard Time (EST) in 202 A (Convention Center). We hope to see you there!

Abstract: Ice sheets, glaciers, and the underlying bedrock, sediment and permafrost hold crucial evidence of past climate, ice sheet dynamics, and cratonic geology. National and international collaboration for drilling in the remote Polar Regions requires strategic coordination between science, technology, and logistics. This meeting will provide the research community with brief updates from IDP, ICECReW, COLDEX, GreenDrill, Hercules Dome, and RAID. Opportunities for community involvement will be showcased, and input from the audience will be solicited.

Date: Wednesday, 11 December 2024
Time: 18:00 - 19:00 Eastern Standard Time (EST)
