ANDRILL
Definition
- ANDRILL (ANtarctic DRILLing)Program is an international consortium to obtain stratigraphic records from fast-ice, ice shelf and land-based platforms in Antarctica with the goal of further advancing our understanding of the geological and climatic history of Antarctica. A workshop was held in 2001 at Oxford University to develop the science plan for ANDRILL. The results of this workshop, an introduction to ANDRILL science and structure, and the scientists who have expressed an interest in ANDRILL are published in a workshop volume that is available at "http://andrill-server.unl.edu/workshop_report.htm" and available from the ANDRILL Science Management Office as ANDRILL Contribution 1. The Workshop report presents the science objectives of ANDRILL, reviews sites proposed as targets, introduces key scientific questions and presents an introduction of key fields in geosciences that ANDRILL will address. Statements of interest from the group of international scientists who attended the workshop, as well as others who expressed interest are included. Proceedings of the working groups are also included. This contribution is intended to be a reference resource for scientists with no prior Antarctic experience who desire to become involved as a scientist in ANDRILL. Additional information about ANDRILL and updates are available at "http://andrill-server.unl.edu" (en)
