The Antarctic Geology and Geophysics
Working Group Home Page

The Office of Polar Programs of the National Science Foundation maintains science support capabilities that enable a broad range of research projects, especially within the US Antarctic Program.

Ensuring that these capabilities continue to serve the best interests of the research community requires periodic and open dialog between the earth sciences community and the program manager. The Antarctic Working Group for Geology and Geophysics is an ad hoc body whose role is to provide feed-back about current and planned research support capabilities available to Antarctic earth science projects supported by the National Science Foundation. The working group affords a broad conduit for exchange of information between the program manager and the earth-science research community. The group addresses concerns and priorities within the Antarctic Geology and Geophysics program, making recommendations for action where appropriate. It also provides a forum to raise and discuss general programmatic issues associated with new opportunities in earth science research as it perceives them, or as they are recognized by the wider earth-science community.
