XXVIII SCAR Delegates Agenda 4.3 Paper 14
Goal of this activity is to establish appropriate protocols for producing digital
compilations of faults for the two Antarctic regions where sufficient information
exists for such an effort. Input data will include field data, marine geophysical data,
seismicity data, and other geophysical data.
• Outreach and Communications Task Group
Coordinators: Alessandro Capra, John Manning & Anya Reading
Goal of this activity is to compile information on upcoming meetings, a national
correspondent list for ANTEC research, sources of information for ANTEC research,
and compilation of metadata on existing observatories and research efforts underway
providing data on neotectonic research. These materials will augment the existing
ANTEC and ANSWER (Antarctic Seismology Web Resource) web sites.
• Technological Information Resources (Joint with GIANT <strong>group</strong>)
Coordinator: Larry Hothem
Goal of this activity is to compile a web-based resource of information on
technological components required for autonomous remote observatories and also to
compile success/failure experience of researchers with these components.
• Other projects under discussion for development are:
• Integration of data sets to study neotectonics of selected regions (compilation
effort)
• Compilation of modern-day stress data
• Joint effort with a subset of the Physical Sciences SG (ISMASS and possibly
others) to develop an updated ice sheet history for Antarctica
