Building up of Antarctic infrastructure for global climate change |
| The project team on the polar station is working to obtain international community’s approval for the constructio n of a station in Antarctic, and to design and construct it which will be used as a basis together with the current King Sejong science research station (located 62° 13′ south latitude )for scientific research to respond to global warming. |

Current Status |
- Selection / field examination / evaluation of preliminary potential site(east Antarctic 2, west Antarctic 3)
- Selection of potential construction site through public hearing and construction project committee
- Plan to evaluate comprehensive environmental influence(CEE) appraisal
- Development of key research areas using the second station |
|
Future plans |
- Closer examinations on candidate construction site and comprehensive environmental influence(CEE) appraisal
- Design of station concept and construction
- submission of comprehensive environmental influence(CEE)appraisal on candidate construction sites to international community(ATCM) and obtaining approval for second station
- Construction of environment friendly station using state of the art construction method for cold region |
