The IDPO convenes a Science Advisory Board (SAB) for the purpose of forming and updating a Long Range Science Plan that addresses multiple aspects of ice core and other ice science and associated technology. Below are the current members of the SAB as well as SAB-related documents.
Subglacial/Borehole Logging Working Groups: Call for Participants
The SAB wants to ensure it captures the complete breadth of community input for on-going and future needs of the ice drilling science community. The SAB seeks to form two new working groups; 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 IDPO Long Range Science Plan and other actions relevant to the working group interest.
The two new working groups are:
- Subglacial Access Working Group (SAWG) that will represent 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. Ross Powell, currently on the SAB, will initially lead the group. Other standing SAB members currently representing these communities are Jill Mikucki for microbiology, and Howard Conway for exposure dating
- Working Group on Borehole Logging (WGBL) that will represent the broad range of scientists interested in deploying logging instruments in glaciers and ice sheets. Ryan Bay and Gary Clow, who are both currently on the SAB, will initially lead the group.
*** If you are interested in contributing to either of these working groups and advising on future paths the U.S. ice drilling program should take, please notify Joseph Souney of IDPO at joseph.souney@unh.edu by May 18. ***
