Technology Developments to Advance Antarctic Research Workshop

The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine invites you to join a workshop to foster community-wide discussion about harnessing cutting-edge technological innovations to advance, facilitate, and transform Antarctic and polar research; to increase the reach of Antarctic and polar research while reducing the environmental footprint of these operations; and to facilitate broader, more diverse participation in Antarctic and polar research. While focused primarily on Antarctic science, the workshop will explore lessons from, and solutions applicable to, Arctic science as well—and we actively seek to draw insights from science and engineering fields beyond polar science. As input to this workshop, we invite your creative ideas regarding existing or possible new technologies that could be used for advancing key aspects of Antarctic/polar research. Submit by April 20. You do not have to register for the workshop to submit ideas.
