Summary of activities from 2018-20

Our membership have presented ANGWIN related work at a range of conferences, including IUGG 2019, AGU 2019. We had contributed to convening a session at the 2020 SCAR OSC (and submitted several abstracts), submitted abstracts to COSPAR 2020 and had planned to hold our ANGWIN workshop in early 2020. However the pandemic has resulted in these 2020 events not taking place.

Key challenge – changing how we interact and continue ANGWIN work in 2020 due to the pandemic.

Major achievements – Dr Kogure, one of our ANGWIN members successfully gained a SCAR fellowship to pursue his ANGWIN work.

Upcoming activities – ANGWIN workshop 2021, session on polar field work (that can cover ANGWIN work) at BOCA-21 (IAMAS)
