	WorldChanging: Tools, Models and Ideas for Building a Bright Green Future: Concordia Station
		December 21, 2005 2:54 PM Concordia Station is one of the most isolated -- and most important -- permanent scientific outposts on Antarctica.
		Antarctic research, while interesting, isn't inherently worldchanging, but Concordia is special: its location, Dome C, is rapidly becoming the best spot for a variety of scientific missions on Antarctica; and this year's overwinter crew at Concordia has the assignment of prepping for a mission to Mars.
		Concordia currently operates some of the most sophisticated water-recovery systems available, testing ESA water capture and purification equipment while abiding by treaty requirements not to leave any waste on the continent.

	Concordia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Concordia is the official title for the compilation of Lutheran doctrinal statements (Book of Concord) published in 1580.
		EUFOR Concordia was the name of an operation launched by the European Union in 2003 in the Republic of Macedonia.
		Concordia (Singing Group) is the name of a barbershop-style singing group.

		Concordia is the first permanent base to be set up to allow scientists and researchers to spend the winter in the unforgiving Antarctic climate, the coldest, highest, driest, windiest place on the planet.
		The Concordia base is planned for completion near the end of 2004, with a view to housing 16 people during the winter of 2005.
		In Antarctica, the conditions are rarely hospitable and never less so than during the winter, when temperatures plummet and the continent descends into darkness for a period of approximately six months.

	Mission to Mars via Antarctica
		The Concordia Station is a scientific base built in Antarctica by the French Polar Institute (IPEV) and the Italian Antarctic Programme (PNRA).
		In 2003, ESA coordinated together with the Concordia partners a Research Announcement for medical and psychological research, from which six proposals were selected.
		For the Concordia Station, this means that all waste materials have to be appropriately treated.

		They are pretty much the only man-made structures in Antarctica — the Antarctic Treaty, first signed in 1959, ensures that the continent is used only for peaceful, non-military purposes, effectively reserving it for adventure, a little tourism, and a lot of science.
		Concordia, built jointly by France and Italy, consists of two octagonal buildings in which a 16-strong crew will conduct year-round experiments on everything from geomagnetism to cosmic background radiation, starting next year.
		Tourists cruising the shoreline of the continent in summer occasionally report seeing budgies in cages outside the scattered stations, despite the fact that this is technically a violation of the Antarctic Treaty, which bans the import of all non-indigenous species to the continent in order to protect its fauna and flora.

	Vast Plumbing Network Discovered Beneath Antarctica \| LiveScience
		An intricate network of channels beneath Antarctica's ice sheets could allow water, and possibly life, to shuttle from one underground lake to another, a new study suggests.
		Some of these discharges might even carry lake water all the way to the coast of Antarctica, where it gets dumped into the ocean, the researchers speculate.
		It could also put a damper on planned drillings into Antarctica's largest subglacial Lake Vostok, to probe for signs of microbial life.

		Dome C is one of the local summits of Antarctica, a.k.a.
		There are better places in Antarctica where to find (micro)meteorites, the so-called blue-ice areas where the combined action of the wind and sublimation ablates the ice away, concentrating those space rocks in small area.
		Indeed the detection of many sub-glacial lakes in Antarctica is very interesting, not much is known about them and the most publicized, the Vostok lake, is about to be breached.

		But if the ice of the Dome Concordia core has moved over rocks or slopes in the past, it is possible that the deeper layers could have been jumbled up while leaving the surface layers intact.
		If the layers in the Dome Concordia core are intact, it will give ice researchers their first information about climate changes before that time.
		After seeing the Dome Concordia results, Jean Jouzel of the Vostok team says he is hopeful the Vostok core's deeper layers might be intact after all.

		Concordia Station, a French-Italian research project run by the "Institut français pour la recherche et la technologie polaires" (IFRTP, French Polar Research and Technology Institute) and its Italian counterpart, is located in one of the world's coldest, driest deserts, in central Antarctica.
		A few micrometeorite grains were collected near Concordia by melting snow and then filtering it under ultra-clean conditions using apparatus developed in collaboration with the Chaffoteaux and Maury group.
		This first collection of extraterrestrial dust collected at Concordia enabled the team to establish a lower limit of 6,000 tons of micrometeorites that reach the Earth's surface annually.
