Description
Neutrino-astronomy meets ice drilling and glaciology

The 2017 Fall Collaboration meeting is hosted by DESY and the HU Berlin. As part of the pre-meeting schedule, it includes the one-day IceCube Polar Science workshop. This interdisciplinary workshop will include scientists and engineers from Europe and the US discussing their areas of expertise, including glaciology, drilling, sampling, logging, and remote sensing techniques in the polar environment.  Current status and future plans, requirements and challenges will be reviewed.
