Life in Ancient Ice Workshop: Gleneden Beach, Oregon June 2001
Conveners: Scott O. Rogers, Bowling Green State University and John D. Castello, SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry
Agenda: The general objective of this workshop was to bring together experts studying ice, permafrost, ancient life, biological preservation, evolution, and astrobiology to assess current and future research that would extend our knowledge of life in ancient frozen matrices. The anticipated outcomes of this workshop were to: 1.Discuss current and future research on life in ancient ice and permafrost; 2. Present recommendations to NSF and NASA on future research directions and needs; 3. Generate interest among researchers and the public around the world on this subject by producing a book based on the workshop presentations and another book for the lay public (both to be published by Princeton University Press), making the abstracts and other information available to the public via the Internet.
