Organizers invite participation in the upcoming NSF-sponsored Interdisciplinary Antarctic Earth Science Meeting (ANT-Sci). It will be held 20-22 September 2015 on the Sylvan Dale Ranch in Loveland, Colorado.

The meeting is intended to provide a forum for recent Antarctic research, to facilitate the exchange of information, and to encourage interdisciplinary research in the Earth Sciences. It will be convened as a single-session meeting that will include invited and contributed presentations, daily poster sessions, and dedicated discussion time to promote exchange of ideas. The program will be guided by an interdisciplinary organizing committee that will identify unifying session themes based on community interest along with the critical questions identified by the U.S. Polar Research Board and the international Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research. The meeting will immediately follow the West Antarctic ice sheet (WAIS) meeting at the same venue.

In advance of the proposed Shackleton Camp logistics hub, the ANT-Sci meeting will include a dedicated session to communicate key information about the camp planning process with participation by NSF and Antarctic Support Contract staff.

Details on session topics, registration and lodging will follow. For questions, please contact organizing committee member Melissa Nigro at melissa.nigro [at] colorado.edu.
