Antarctic and Southern Ocean clinical examine has produced a wide range of significant and interesting clinical advances. Spanning oceanography to tectonics, microbiology to astrophysics, the extraordinary Antarctic atmosphere offers designated possibilities to extend our wisdom approximately how our planet works or even the very origins of the universe. examine at the Southern Ocean and the Antarctic ice sheets is turning into more and more pressing not just for realizing the way forward for the area but additionally its interconnections with and affects on many different components of the globe.
The U.S. nationwide technology origin (NSF) offers U.S. researchers with huge entry to the continent and its surrounding ocean. A Strategic imaginative and prescient for NSF Investments in Antarctic and Southern Ocean Research identifies priorities and strategic steps ahead for Antarctic study and observations for the subsequent decade. This survey provides a decadal imaginative and prescient for strategic investments in compelling learn and the infrastructure most important for assisting this examine. This document makes concepts for high-priority, larger-scale, community-driven learn projects that deal with questions poised for major boost with the following many years. This document additionally outlines a roadmap during which the imaginative and prescient and those priorities might be met.
