	Research - RTD info - Special issue - May 2005 - European nations at the forefront of international collaboration
		With the growth of scientific networks and the considerable benefits reaped from past International Polar Years, contemporary polar research represents a vast collaborative effort with the shared goal of better understanding the dynamics of the polar regions and the role which they play in the Earth System as a whole.
		For example, the IPY’s International Programme Office (IPO) is housed at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) headquarters in Cambridge, and the Director of the BAS, Professor Chris Rapley, plus several leading European scientists are members of the joint IPY ICSU-WMO (1) committee.
		With a couple of exceptions, those European countries that are full members of SCAR are also members of IASC and have been involved in a whole series of IASC projects ranging from the study of Arctic coastal dynamics to nutrition and health among northern indigenous peoples.

		Within this framework, the principal scientists who have collected nearly all Antarctic MCS data were asked to consult with their national agencies and to assemble in Oslo to work as a community in designing viable solutions to the long-standing concerns surrounding open access to MCS data for research purposes.
		Open access to all Antarctic MCS data at one location(s) has never before been possible; all participants agreed that this would be beneficial for cooperative research and for the long term goal of advancing the scientific understanding of the Antarctic continent.
		Data can be used only in cooperative research studies with the data collector, and the data collector must be offered authorship on research papers based on his or her data.

		Assessing Antarctica's role in global change offers a major scientific challenge because of the vastness of the continent, variable climatic conditions (sea ice, snow accumulation rate, atmospheric circulation), and the influence of human activity on the environment of the region (ozone hole, long-traveled pollutants, research station signatures).
		Under the national banner of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) initiative, multidisciplinary workshops were organized and attended by the U.S. scientific community to formulate the scientific questions and methodologies needed to undertake this challenge in West Antarctica resulting in US ITASE.
		The approach to our research and the challenge of assessing Antarctica's role in global change depends on the analysis and interpretation of the concentrations of various chemicals present in the ice.
