XXVIII SCAR Delegates Agenda 4.3 Paper 14
1. coordinate an implementation plan for deployment of geodetic and seismological
stations in Antarctica;
2. encourage coordinated geophysical and geological work to complement station
deployments;
3. ensure that protocols for data collection, archiving and distribution are meeting the
needs of the international research community;
4. Promote <strong>scientific</strong> research opportunities and promising directions in neotectonics and
geodynamics of Antarctica by holding workshops and symposia;
5. liaise with international research programmes with complimentary <strong>scientific</strong> aims to
ANTEC.
