The National Research Council (NRC) Committee to Advise NSF Science Priorities for Antarctic and Southern Ocean Research is seeking input.
This committee is charged to articulate a vision for the US National Science Foundation's (NSF) investments in Antarctic and Southern Ocean research building upon the broad vision of key scientific questions identified in the 2011 NRC report, "Future Science Opportunities in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean." The committee's scope spreads across topics as diverse as geology and geophysics, terrestrial and aquatic biology, glaciology and ice core studies, ocean and atmospheric sciences, astrophysics and space weather, as well as cross-cutting areas such as education, public engagement, and data management.
