Bunger Hills, situated in East Antarctica adjacent to the Denman Glacier and Shackleton Ice Shelf, stands as a pivotal area for understanding the East Antarctic response to our changing climate. With its unique geography, Bunger Hills itself also offers a fertile ground for research across various disciplines.
Currently, Antarctic programs from Australia, Poland, and Russia maintain infrastructure within Bunger Hills. In addition, recent years have seen an increase in fieldwork activities, attracting participation from a diverse group of nations.
This side meeting aims to bring together minds eager to shape the scientific direction of Bunger Hills for the coming decade. This session is a call to discuss future scientific objectives, explore potential collaborations, and share interests in supporting data collection and logistical efforts.
We invite you to join us in this pivotal discussion, contributing to the formulation of a collaborative scientific agenda.
