The annual ITGC meeting will be held in Queen’s College, Oxford, on the 18th and 19th September. It will follow the 33rd Forum for Research into Ice Shelf Processes (FRISP) which will be held from 15-18 September. Six people from each project will have their travel costs paid for by the SCO.

The DOMINOS team will use computer modelling to examine calving and associated processes that could cause the rapid retreat and collapse of the glacier.

MELT will measure the melting at the ice-ocean interface of the glacier, to understand the processes involved and its potential for triggering increased sea-level rise.

Using a variety of techniques such as radar and seismic analysis to understand the margins of the glacier, TIME will investigate what controls its width and speed.


Registration for Antarctica Day is now closed, and the team is working on pairing schools with experts. We will contact the participating schools with more information the week of 19 November.
