A Mid-Term Assessment of NSF Progress on the 2015 Strategic Vision for Antarctic and Southern Ocean Research

Completed

In 2015, the National Academies released a report that recommended three large-scale priority research initiatives in addition to a core program of broad-based research for NSF’s Antarctic Program. These priorities are: (1) understanding changing Antarctic ice sheets; (2) decoding the evolution and adaptation of Antarctic organisms; and (3) using cosmic microwave background radiation to explore the origin and ultimate fate of the universe. This study will provide a mid-term assessment to evaluate the state of progress in reaching the goals recommended in the 2015 study and explore recent scientific and technological developments that provide new opportunities to expand this progress.
