ANDRILL-BRASIL is a new initiative
to create a Brazilian network with the
goal to increase future involvement of
Brazilian Universities and Research
Institutions in the ANDRILL
[ANtarctic geological DRILLing].
Program ANDRILL-BRASIL
will provide the venue for Brazilian
scientists to: (1) participate in
forthcoming projects and develop proposals
with key scientific questions in other
Antarctic margins, with strong Brazilian
leadership and/or logistical support, and
(2) help the international ANDRILL
community prioritize future drill sites
with the aim of better constraining the
past and future dynamic behavior of the
Antarctic ice sheets.
ANDRILL-BRASIL
international partners are Italy, Germany
and United Kingdom, United States, New
Zealand, South Korea and Japan. Visit
www.andrill.org, which provides more
information about science, technology,
media, news, publications and educations
regarding the ANDRILL program.
The next
phase of ANDRILL drilling is developing
in the Coulman
High region to the east of Ross Island,
on the Ross Ice Shelf.
