This ends my talk. Thank you for your attention.

 

Chairperson:

Thank you very much for your presentation. We are a little bit ahead of schedule - about one minute. If there are any questions, we would like to entertain your questions at this point.

 

Questioner:

Actually I have a general question about the access of the ice cores to the science community. Among the research that you've outlined, is there a coordination of repositories of the ice where scientists can actually access the ice core.

 

Dr. Langway

Yes, there is. Originally CRREL was responsible for the ice core storage coordination and distribution. It was then handled by SUNY at Buffalo. About 5 or 6 years ago SUNY at Buffalo transferred the cores to a facility located in Denver, Colorado. The Denver facility is jointly operated by the University of Colorado and the USGS, Denver, CO. They receive requests for samples and make the approved shipments to recipients.

 

I believe NSF only gets involved with requests which require research funds to sponsor their core research. I also believe that sample requests are invited from researchers in the international scientific community. I am sorry I do not have the address with me but I am sure if you called the NSF Office of Polar Programs, in Washington, D.C. at 703/306-1033, they would be able to provide you with an address and telephone number. Thank you very much.
