Recommendations from GeoSciences

New External Recommendations 2006:

1. Concerning ADMAP (Antarctic Digital Magnetic MAP)

   • Recognizing the considerable geological utility and growth of magnetic surveying in the Antarctic, and its importance for pan-Antarctic studies, SCAR urges sponsors of magnetic surveys to archive the survey data in the digital database of the Antarctic Digital magnetic Anomaly Project (ADMAP) for distribution to the World Data Centers and the international geosciences community.

2. Concerning Seismic Data Library System (SDLS)

   • Recognising the importance of making available for pan-Antarctic studies all multi-channel seismic (MCS) reflection data collected around Antarctica, SCAR urges delegates to work with their national Antarctic programme managers and MCS data collectors to ensure that all multichannel seismic reflection data collected by their country are submitted to the SDLS (according to the timelines outlined in ATCM Recommendation XVI-12), and to ensure that all MCS data collected more than 4 years ago are received at the SDLS before the end of the IPY.
