Wednesday 9^th July: ANTOSTRAT Session 4

ANTARCTIC REGIONAL WORKING GROUPS

These groups will meet separately and consider on-going, scheduled, and potential science programs through the year 2008. The groups will consider the topical, thematic, issue, event, and technology overview-discussions of the previous three days, to outline and prioritize the key items and opportunities that can realistically be addressed in their region in the coming decade. Primary emphasis will be on activities that provide geologic "ground truth" information. Work based in deep sea, continental shelf and on-land locales will be included in these discussions.

Regional working groups will be provided with a standardized reporting template so as to facilitate inclusion in the final report. The first-mentioned person will act as the group leader for the region. Group leaders will provide summaries of their group's discussions at the final whole-workshop session. Note that all workshop participants are welcome to attend the regional meeting of their choice and to move between meetings. Attendees who have expressed specific regional interests are provided below.

It is anticipated that these discussions will be of assistance to proponents of ANTOSTRAT Ocean Drilling Program proposals as they update and reinforce their proposals during meetings on Saturday and Sunday 12-13 July (see below).

Antarctic Peninsula: Peter Barker, Miguel Canals, Andrzej Gazdzicki, Jose Flores, Jeronimo Lopez, de Batist, et alia

Weddell Sea: Wilfried Jokat, Yngve Kristoffersen, Sherwood Wise et alia

Prydz Bay: Philip O'Brien, German Leitchenkov, Patrick Quilty, Manabu Tanahashi, et alia

Wilkes Land: Carlota Escutia, Manabu Tanahashi, Alan Cooper, et alia

Ross Sea: Fred Davey, Peter Barrett, Giuliano Brancolini, Alan Cooper, Paul Fitzgerald, David Harwood, Gary Wilson, Peter Webb, Ken Woolfe, et alia

Summary presentations: from regional planning meetings by group leaders (Barker, Jokat, O'Brien, Escutia, Davey)

report writing

Closing Session

• Comments on the Antarctic Late Phanerozic Earth System Science initiative, reactions of the workshop's "Devil's Advocate" (Garrik Grikurov)

List of Workshop Panelists and Assistants

Workshop jobs:

Panelists: will give the initial presentation and lead the follow-up discussion.

Assistants: will assist the panelist with the small group discussions and follow-up plenary presentations and discussions.

Recorders: the assistants that are noted by "*" will record the important concepts that are presented in the panelists presentations and later discussions. Recorders notes will be used as the basis for preparing template worksheets (see example) that outline the important science objectives for inclusion in the final report.

Observers: workshop participants who are not listed, and are asked to circulate among the group discussions to provide input, and to help as needed.
