Paleoclimate Records from the Antarctic Margin and Southern Ocean

The goal of the PRAMSO (Paleoclimate Records from the Antarctic Margin and Southern Ocean) Action Group is to provide a forum to initiate, promote and coordinate scientific research drilling around the Antarctic margin and the Southern Ocean to obtain past records of ice sheet dynamics and ice sheet ocean interactions that are critical for improving the accuracy and precision of predictions of future changes in global and regional temperatures and sea level rise.

PRAMSO has links with the current research programme INSTANT (INStabilities and Thresholds in ANTarctica) and the recently-ended research programme PAIS (Past Antarctic Ice Sheet dynamics).

To get involved, contact the group leaders: Carlota Escutia and Richard Levy.
