Overview

Theo Murphy international scientific meeting organised by Professor Martin Siegert , Professor John Priscu, Dr Irina Alekhina, Professor Jemma Wadham and Professor Berry Lyons

Event details

After 20 years of planning, major progress has been made in attempts to directly measure and sample subglacial lakes, and to comprehend their role in ice-sheet flow. The meeting brings experts from major international projects to share the results and experiences of the exploration programmes, and to plan future research. The scientific goals are ultimately to identify and understand life in these extreme environments and to acquire climate records from lake-floor sediments.
