Hercules Dome Workshop and US Ice Core Community Meeting, 2025
We will host a 1/2-day Hercules Dome workshop to update the community on logistics planning, and for coordination of Hercules Dome science. Those planning to submit proposals to be part of the Hercules Dome ice-core ice-analysis team are strongly encouraged to attend. This is expected to be the first of a regular annual PI meeting for Hercules Dome.
Important updates about the Hercules Dome ice core
We have some updates regarding Hercules Dome.
The good news is that as of today, we are still "on schedule". There is always potential for further delay, depending in part how this year’s Antarctic field operations go, but the following is the current plan and guidance from conversations with NSF.
Announcing 3rd US Ice Core Open Science Meeting
The third annual US Ice Core Open Science Meeting will be held May 15-17, 2024, at the Portland Public Library in beautiful Portland, Maine.
This meeting is intended for anyone interested in ice core science or related fields, including ice-core analysis, ice or subglacial drilling, glacier geophysics that supports or depends on ice core records, paleoclimate, and contemporary climate and ice sheet change.
