AGU Chapman Conference on the Exploration and Study of Antarctic Subglacial Aquatic Environments (SAE)
last update: Jan 04, 2010 03:15 PM
The objectives of the conference are two-fold: first, to communicate to the wider community the most recent results and share expertise in planning subglacial aquatic environment (SAE) exploration programs. Secondly, to bring together a diverse group of experts that might not otherwise collaborate or interact to broaden the interdisciplinary nature of all aspects of SAE research. The conference will bridge existing knowledge to future research and will be a benchmark for SAE exploration and study. A longer-term objective is to create a sustainable, vibrant, and growing community of SAE researchers and enthusiasts.

Conference Format
The Conference will be three days and include six sessions: project updates, habitats for life, hydrology and ice sheets, sedimentary records, technology challenges and general discussion. Each session will begin with a one-hour keynote presentation followed by three half-hour invited presentations. Each session concludes with a forum for discussion. Following lunch each day, there will be a poster session on that day’s topics. Each day will end with a panel discussion by the presenters moderated by the conveners. The final session (6) will foster in-depth discussion and will be facilitated by the program committee. The schedule overview is available [.pdf].
