This Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) Code of Conduct (CoC) for Geosciences Field Research Activities in Antarctica provides guidance when planning or undertaking geological and other geosciences field research activities in the Antarctic Treaty area, in order to minimize human impact on the Antarctic environment and to preserve the region?s geological heritage. The CoC was prepared by the SCAR Action Group on Geological Heritage and Geoconservation, building on the SCAR Geological Sampling Code of Conduct (GeoReach Newsletter, SCAR GSSG Vol. 7 May, 2008), and with input from the SCAR geological community before and during the SCAR/IASC Open Science Conference in Davos, 15-26 June 2018. The guidelines have been finalised through broad consultation, including with the Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programs (COMNAP).
