Satellite Events
Invisible
Traditionally, the SCAR community has taken advantage of the opportunity presented by the large number of people assembled at the Open Science Conference, to schedule meetings in the periphery of the conference. The online format of this year’s conference diminishes this opportunity, but SCAR will continue the practice of coordinating requests from the community for satellite meetings to avoid conflicts in scheduling. The management, organizing, advertisement, format, attendance, and outcomes of any such events are the responsibility of the convenors. When considering scheduling, proponents should note that no satellite meetings will be allowed during the formal sessions of the Open Science Conference or the Business Meetings. The SCAR Open Conference website will include a complete listing of satellite events and organizer contact information for those that might be interested.
If you have an event, you would like listed, please send a title (limited to 30 characters) and a short abstract (limited to 250 words) to info@scar.org for consideration for inclusion in the Conference website (subject line: Proposed SCAR OSC Satellite Event).

The 10th SCAR Open Science Conference Satellite Meetings are:
Open discussion forum of Antarctic RINGS
This meeting will be organized to present a summary of discussions held in the RINGS Workshop late June and collect additional community inputs. Two meetings in the same format and agenda are offered to facilitate wider participation from various locations in the world. The meetings will start with a session to view posters that were presented at the workshop (1 hour, available only for Open Science Conference participants) followed by a presentation on the summary of workshop discussion (0.5 hour) and open discussion forum to collect additional inputs (1 hour). Talks at the workshop in June will be recorded and provided soon after the workshop, which will be announced at the Action Group news page.
To join this forum, please register for one of the identical meetings below:
Antarctic Geothermal Heat Flow: Current Research And Challenges
Convenors: Tobias Stål (tobias.staal@utas.edu.au) and Mareen Lösing (mareen.loesing@ifg.uni-kiel.de)
Research into the geothermal heat flow of Antarctica and its impact on ice sheet dynamics continues to be progressed via a combination of glaciological, geological, and geophysical approaches, now under the umbrella of the INSTANT research programme of SCAR. This side meeting of SCAR 2022 will bring together the international community to discuss their current research and challenges, help foster new collaborations, and highlight future research directions and priorities. Prospective attendees should express interest in attendance to the lead convenor (e-mail address above) and are invited to present their research in a short one-slide presentation at the start of the meeting.
Structuring and Managing Biological Data
Convenors: Yi Ming Gan and Anton Van de Putte
The Antarctic and Sub Antarctic region are hosts to unique biodiversity. Due to the remoteness and harsh environment, this biodiversity often remains poorly described despite similar threats to the rest of the globe. As such The biodiversity data collected in this region is of high scientific value.
This workshop aims to train scientists to structure and manage their biological data more effectively and conform to internationally used biodiversity data standard formats, saving precious time in preparing data for analysis or online archiving.
This workshop is organised by the SCAR Antarctic Biodiversity Portal in the framework of the topical collection “Antarctic and Southern Ocean biodiversity” of the Pensoft “Biodiversity Data Journal”.
The SCAR Antarctic Biodiversity Portal is a community effort that supports the publication of Biodiversity data in accordance with the FAIR principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) and the provisions of the Antarctic Treaty System (scientific observations and results from Antarctica shall be exchanged and made freely available).
EG-ABI information session and Google Earth Engine tutorial
In this session we will give a brief overview of the Expert Group on Antarctic Biodiversity Informatics, discussing our mission, some current projects, ways that you can become involved, and time for questions (~20 mins). We will then have a tutorial from Prof. Eliana Lima da Fonseca on using the Google Earth Engine to retrieve environmental information over Antarctica (~30 mins).
Tutorial: How to use the Google Earth Engine to retrieve environmental information over Antarctica
Prof. Dr. Eliana Lima da Fonseca (Centro Polar e Climatico – Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul)
In this tutorial, we present how to use the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, with its native JavaScript interface, to access some climate and atmosphere data collections, which cover the partial or entire Antarctic continent like “MODIS” air temperature data, “GPM” precipitation data and “TERRACLIMATE” and “ERA5” data collection. To use and analyze these climate and atmosphere data, we must evaluate each data source’s scale and limitations.
