Presentation Transcript

  1. Antarctic Geology and Geophysics Antarctic Science Section Thomas Wagner Program Manager NSF/Office of Polar Programs

  2. Antarctica U.S. Antarctic Program, New Investigators workshop

  3. Antarctic Geology & Geophysics • All areas of G&G • Microcosm of EAR and OCE/MG&G • Compelling research that can only be done, or is best done, in Antarctica • Many opportunities • No mosquitoes and no snakes U.S. Antarctic Program, New Investigators workshop

  4. Antarctic Ice Sheet Dynamic ice-sheet system -Interacts with and is affected by the underlying continent

  5. Antarctic Subglacial Topography < 2 % of exposed bedrock -Many intriguing features are known – but much is not known.

  6. Antarctica and the surrounding sea-floor • Marine geological records of ice sheet evolution – implications for a warmer world • SHALDRIL • ANDRILL • Seafloor tectonics – global importance U.S. Antarctic Program, New Investigators workshop
