Submitted: 29 April 2021

Summary:

Following broad and extensive consultation, SCAR has updated earlier advice to geoscientists undertaking field research in Antarctica with the preparation of the SCAR Environmental Code of Conduct for Geosciences Field Research Activities in Antarctica (see Attachment). SCAR recommends that the CEP considers the Code of Conduct and, if agreed, encourages its dissemination and use when planning and undertaking geosciences field research activities in Antarctica.
