Education for Sustainability (SEES) portfolio (topics inclusive of Earth
system modeling, ocean acidification, biodiversity, and related
education partnerships) will be discussed.
Updates will be provided on the National Research Council study of the
U.S. Antarctic Program, "Future Science Opportunities in the Antarctic
and Southern Ocean," which will inform a Blue Ribbon Panel review of
U.S. Antarctic Program infrastructure; as well as the UNOLS Polar
Research Vessel Committee Science Mission Requirements Refresh Project.
Division program officers will be available for discussions, and
organizers hope to introduce new program officers to the community.
