Ice Core Working Group

The Ice Core Working Group (ICWG) is a group of scientist who investigate scientific issues pertaining to ice cores. Members are selected from the scientific community and their role consists of providing guidance to the NSF and the USGS on topics related to sample access, distribution, inventory, policy issues, operation and maintenance of the National Ice Core Laboratory (NICL), and future directions for ice core research.

NICL-SMO assists the ICWG in defining its existing policies and directions for NICL, which are reviewed on a yearly basis. To foster future directions in ice core research, NICL-SMO assists the ICWG in polling the scientific community, developing reports, planning workshops and plenary discussions.
