The steering committee for the International Ice Drilling Technology
Workshop is pleased to announce that the 6th conference in this series
will be held at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National
Conservation Training Center in Sheperdstown, West Virginia during the
week of 18 September 2006. This conference is being sponsored by the
National Science Foundation Office of Polar Programs.

submit a short abstract. Please indicate your interest in attending by

The 6th international conference comes at a time of exciting
developments and challenges in the field of ice drilling and coring. The
steering committee has designed an agenda for the meeting that will
provide not only formal presentations but also many opportunities for
informal interactions including a poster and vendor session, a "movie"
evening for participants to share video recordings of recent drilling
project activities, and a session on learning from failures.
