Meeting Background: This meeting will provide an invitation to hear the scientific objectives of the ‘GlaciStore’ bid to the IODP for scientific drilling, from Norwegian and UKCCSRC bid proponents. Participants will also be informed of the process researchers might follow to participate in the science party for IODP if the bid is successful.
