SCAR EXCOM 2007 WP35: Report of the SCAR Standing Scientific Group on Geosciences (SSG-GS)

Introduction and Highlights

The AG and EG activities after XXIX SCAR meeting were focused on IPY preparation and on next ISAES symposium , September 07, Santa Barbara , USA.

Since last year GI (Geographic Information) EG within SSG-G became a SCAR Standing Committee (Standing Committee on Antarctic Geographic Information - SCAGI).

ANTEC EG ceased to exist as a SCAR EG and the activities of this group have been absorbed within the IPY POLENET Programme, which can be accessed via the POLENET web site: http://www.polenet.org/.

A 2nd SCAR cross linkages workshop has been made in Rome, November 2006. From that meeting has been proposed the creation of a working group between ICESTAR/IHY and POLENET through UAMPY. The Proposed title is GPS for weather and space weather forecast ( see more informations in attached document)
