The joint EG-ABI / EG-BAMM workshop on the RAATD project that took place at BELSPO in Brussels just ended. During the week around a dozen specialists compiled more than 2 million lines of unique tracking records and developed filters and analytical R scripts to bring the Retrospective Analysis of the Antarctic Tracking Database project one step closer to completion. We warmly thank Maaike Vancauwenberghe at BELSPO for her hospitality.
