Selected links to activities of AGCS:

• The SCAR REference Antarctic Data for Environmental Research (READER) initiative aims to create high quality data sets of key variables for investigation of climate variability and change. There are currently three components:
  
  MET-READER providing surface and upper air mean climate data.
  ICE-READER providing links to ice core data
  OCEAN-READER which holds oceanographic data
  
  
• The ASPeCT (Antarctic Sea-Ice Processes and Climate) project
• The International Trans-Antarctic Science Expedition (ITASE)
• AGCS has a strong interest in the transport of aerosols and pollutants into the Antarctic and is involved in the Physical Sciences Action Group on Environmental Contamination in Antarctica. The AGCS contacts for this group are Xiao Cunde (cdxiao@lzb.ac.cn) and Helen Campbell (H.Campbell@bas.ac.uk).
