We had a wonderful joint SIRG and SIS (sea ice symposium) meeting at the Lyall Bay Surf Lifesaving Club in Wellington from 10 – 12 Feb, with ~40 attendees!

Student talk prizes, sponsored by the Antarctic Science Platform, were awarded to Hanna Knahl for a talk titled ‘Build-up of the Antarctic Ice Sheet and fundamental change of the Southern Ocean‘, and Lizzy Skelton for a talk titled ‘Measuring the thickness of the platelet layer in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica, using non-destructive geophysical methods‘.

Thanks to everyone who joined for making it a wonderful event, and thanks to our sponsor, the Antarctic Research Centre (VUW)!

Here’s the program from the meeting:
