SCADM has been invited by Spain to organize its annual meeting in conjunction with the VIII Spanish Symposium on Polar Studies.
SCAGI, the SCAR Standing Committee on Antarctic Geographic Information will hold a 2-day meeting, the first day on the day prior to the SCADM meeting and the second day jointly with SCADM on the first day of the SCADM meeting.
The SCAR Executive Director, Dr. Mike Sparrow, will attend both the SCAGI and the SCADM meetings, as well as the Spanish Polar Symposium. This setting offers ample opportunities to interact intensively with various groups within SCAR.
