Purpose of This Document This document is a guide to participation for Science Team members involved in the Southern McMurdo Sound (SMS) Project of the ANDRILL Program. The document provides the following information: 1) Overview of the ANtarctic geologic DRILLing (ANDRILL) Program; 2) Overview of expected individual involvement in and commitment to the SMS Project; and 3) Logistical information most relevant to onice participants. Information provided in this document will be supplemented by the publication of the SMS Science and Logistics Implementation Plan (SLIP).The SLIP will be available to all SMS ANDRILL participants prior to commencement of drilling. The reader should refer to the appendices of this document for more detailed information on the international management of the ANDRILL Program, pertinent contact information (including a roster of the SMS Science Team Members), and for a list of acronyms used throughout the document. The McMurdo-ANDRILL Science Implementation Committee (M-ASIC) and the ANDRILL Science Committee (ASC) encourage all international scientists designated for participation in the 2007 ANDRILL drilling season to read this document, become familiar with the SLIP document (when available) and to contact your National Steering Committee Representative(s), the SMS Co-Chief scientists, Discipline Team Leader (DTL) or the ANDRILL Science Management Office (SMO) with questions or concerns regarding your participation in the SMS project. Conclusion The ANDRILL SMS Project will provide an opportunity for the Science Team to engage with other scientists in discovery, learning, teaching and producing results that are important to understanding the Earth’s climate history. The SMS Project expects to be not only an adventure, but an important segment in the continued legacy of international collaboration in polar research. We are looking forward to the start of ANDRILL’s second project; to the recovery of core; to the next three years of documenting the recovered core and interpreting its ...
