Beyond EPICA - Oldest Ice

Deliverables

Delivery of infrastructure from Neumayer III via Kohnen to field depot in DML/DF

Logistical preparation

Logistic plan for BE-DRILLING PHASE

Logistics plan for the BE-DRILLING PHASE, taking into account all the constraints due to remoteness, harsh conditions, environmental regulations and the opportunities to use new technologies (e.g. for efficient energy provision). The deliverable D1.7 will inform WP4 and WP6 as they develop their planning deliverables.

Set-up and maintenance of field drilling camp DC

Logistical preparation

Mini-traverse in Dome C region

Logistical preparation

Mini-traverse to Little Dome C

Logistical preparation

Operation of field camp DML/DF in second season

Logistical preparation

Quality management routine

The quality management routine will include a communication plan, standard documents, risk register, a proofreading procedure and a validation workflow.

Organisation of and participation in glaciological summer schools

Co-organisation and participation in the Karthaus summer schools “Glaciers in the Climate System”, which covers both the glaciological basics to understand ice core records as well as expert knowledge in ice core science. Early career scientists from the BE-OI consortium will be invited to this summerschool, and BE-OI senior scientists will be involved in the teaching.

Delivery of fuel and infrastructure to Concordia Station

Summary report of the outcome of the international conference at which academic stakeholders will be consulted: this deliverable will feed into WP4

Minutes of 1st annual Steering Committee and Liaison and Advisory Group meetings

Meeting minutes of 1st annual SC and LAG meeting

Minutes of 2nd annual Steering Committee and Liaison and Advisory Group meetings

Meeting minutes of 2nd annual SC and LAG meeting

Report summarising role of international partners in BE-DRILLING PHASE
