Science focus
FRISP Southern Hemisphere will embrace a holistic approach to science presentations (not necessarily limited between the grounding line and calving front!) and welcomes research across disciplines that influences ice shelf dynamics. This includes glaciology, atmospheric drivers, subglacial hydrology, ocean circulation with cavities, small-scale oceanographic processes, cross-shelf exchange, and the impacts of fast ice and sea ice. Both observational and modelling studies are welcome. We aim to foster collaboration across these interconnected research areas.

MBRS contains accommodation options (some single rooms, some double-share rooms, mostly bunk rooms), which we have booked for the length of the conference.This is included in the price of registration. As most rooms contain several beds, we are generally unable to guarantee single rooms. Attendees are welcome to look for other local accommodation options.

Meals
Breakfast, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea will be provided at MBRS. There will be a conference dinner organised for one night, but other nights you must fend for yourselves. There are several restaurants/take-aways/pub in Dunwich, within walking distance. There is also a small supermarket and cooking facilities upstairs which you can use.
