| Summary: | The 11th International Workshop of the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf Programme (FRISP) was held in Sweden at Stockholms University, Department of Physical Geography on 13th-14th June 1995. We are grateful to Dr. Per Holmlund and his colleagues, for their excellent organisation of the meeting, as weIl as the demonstration of glacial and Viking history in the surroundings of Stockholm. We thank Per Holmlund and his wife Anna Schytt for the wonderful picnic they prepared for the excursion out in the nature. In total 44 participants from Belgium, Chile, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Sveden, the United Kingdom, and the USA came together. For the first time a FRISP workshop was hosted by Sweden. The FRISP Report No. 10 combines 26 written summaries of in total 32 talks, which were presented at the workshop. The papers coIlected in this volume present a good overview of the latest state of FRISP and the co-operation of the participating groups. The ice-shelf ocean inter action is still one of the major topics, a matter of both, field investigations and modelling. Calculating the mass balance along ice streams flowing into the Ronne ice shelf is undertaken by various means. The work on the Berkner Island ice cores continues as weIl as the evaluation of shaIlow ice cores with respect to accumulation studies. With the start of EPICA (European Project for !ce Coring in Antarctica) some groups are now focusing their work more in the region of Dronning Maud Land carrying out accumulation studies, investigations on snow chemistry, and ice thickness measurements. These projects as weIl as the traverse work on the Foundation Ice Streams fit nicely to the SCAR Programme ITASE. Also the SCAR Programme ISMASS benefits from the work carried out in the frame of FRISP. The new EISMINT/SCAR initiative BEDMAP (Bed Mapping in Antarctica) will also include a remarkable amount of ice thickness data measured within the region of the Filchner-Ronne-Schelfeis or by the members of the FRISP community elsewhere. University College London offered to host the 12th FRISP workshop mid June 1997. It is gratefuIly acknowledged that Alfred-Wegener-Institute covers the expenses for printing this report. |
