Since these regions are not easy to reach, it can be difficult to find the means and infrastructure to reach those areas. It is important that the scientific community collaborates together where possible and with this splinter meeting we hope to bring together scientists that have an interest in scientific expeditions in remote and inaccessible areas.
We would like to discuss:
- ongoing initiatives
- potential new collaborations
- type of infrastructure needed
- practical aspects of such expeditions.
The organisers are mainly involved with offshore Arctic and Antarctic regions, but the discussions during this session are not limited to these geographical regions.
Update from the conveners: the main case study that will be discussed during this splinter meeting will be the Scotia Sea region.
