INStabilities & Thresholds in ANTarctica (INSTANT) draft Science and Implementation Plan, May 2020

Draft proposal of the INSTANT (INStabilities & Thresholds in ANTarctica) Science and Implementation Plan for consultation and feedback from the community.

INSTANT is proposed as a new SCAR scientific research programme (SRP) that addresses one of the highest priority issues facing climate change science – the question of Antarctica’s uncertain contribution to sea-level change.

SCAR INSTANT Conference 2023 – 2nd Circular, February 2023

This international conference is the first major conference of theÂÂÂ INStabilities & Thresholds in ANTarctica (INSTANT) Scientific Research Programme. It aims to bring together researchers from across the geological, geophysical, biological and social sciences interested in bridging their fields, and to facilitate filling of present knowledge gaps surrounding the interactions between the ocean, atmosphere, solid Earth and the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) and their global consequences.

The priority focus of the meeting will be on improving knowledge of the key rate- determining processes, instabilities and potential irreversibilities that affect the mass change of the Antarctic Ice Sheet and its contribution to past, present and future global sea-level.

Leadership and Revised Structure of the SCAR INSTANT Programme

INSTANT is a SCAR scientific research programme (SRP) that addresses the question of Antarctica’s uncertain contribution to sea-level change. It utilises a multidisciplinary Earth-systems approach combining geoscience, physical sciences, biological and social sciences to improve understanding of the interactions between the ocean, atmosphere, solid Earth and the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) and aims at ensuring effective communication on this topic with stakeholders.

INSTANT is structured into three themes: Atmosphere-Ocean-Ice Interactions, Earth-Ice Interactions, and Antarctic Contribution to Sea-Level Change – Science-Stakeholder Interactions. Subcommittees within themes focus on key research tools/capabilities and/or problems needed to address the theme questions.
