Report on the Workshop for the Antarctic Seismic Data Library System for Cooperative Research (SDLS)

9 July 2006, Hobart, Australia

December 2006

Introduction

The SDLS operates under the aegis of SCAR and the ATCM (Recommendation XVI-12) with guidelines outlined in SCAR Report #9. The SDLS holds workshops routinely to review Antarctic multichannel seismic reflection (MCS) operations, to review SDLS operations and procedures, and to set directions for future SDLS operations. In the past three years, the SDLS has held workshops in 2003 in Potsdam (Germany) in conjunction with the 9th International Symposium on Antarctic Earth Science (ISAES) and in 2006 in Hobart, Australia in conjunction with the 20th annual SCAR meeting and SCAR Open Science Conference. The next SDLS workshop will be held in August/September 2007 in conjunction with the 10th ISAES in Santa Barbara, California.

This report summarises the discussions and recommendations of the Hobart workshop, and includes a brief summary of the Potsdam workshop for which a formal workshop report was not written.
