CEDAR email: Nominate U.S. Representative to the SCAR Physical Sciences Scientific Group

[Michael Hartinger]

Dear Colleagues,

The Scientific Committee for Antarctic Research (https://scar.org/) is an
international scientific organization that promotes and facilitates
cooperation in all aspects of Antarctic research. The Polar Research Board
(PRB, https://www.nationalacademies.org/prb/polar-research-board) of the
U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine serves as
the U.S. National Committee to SCAR and is responsible for appointing U.S.
representatives. To learn more about SCAR and the current US-SCAR Team
visit https://usscar.org/about
<https://nas.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=18fe6f8f25ec0bc7509e65e97&id=0b957edcae&e=d73926b725>



The PRB is currently seeking nominations for candidates to fill one
representative position in the Physical Sciences Scientific Group (
https://scar.org/science/physical
<https://nas.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=18fe6f8f25ec0bc7509e65e97&id=4cdb576a0b&e=d73926b725>),
which includes geospace research.  Nominations are due July 28, and they
can be submitted by emailing Lindsay Moller (LMoller at nas.edu). Include the
candidate’s name, affiliation, area of expertise, and a few sentences about
why the nominee is appropriate. Self nominations are welcome. Feel free to
forward this request for nominations to others.



The PRB seeks candidates who have some existing understanding of SCAR’s
structure and goals, have a strong commitment to SCAR’s vision for
international research cooperation, are well-respected in their fields of
work, and have a broad understanding of polar-region research more
generally.



*Role and Responsibilities:* Science Group representatives are appointed
for a 6-year term and are expected to actively participate in the SCAR
international business meetings and Open Science Conference that take place
every other year (travel support is provided). In between the international
meetings, SCAR representatives work closely with the US SCAR Delegate and
Alternate Delegate to contribute to a variety of activities to help build
community among U.S. Antarctic scientists and to expand SCAR engagement
among U.S. Antarctic researchers.

Note that SCAR is a primary organization involved in planning the next
International Polar Year, and it includes a recently selected Scientific
Research Programme, SCAR AGATA (
https://scar.org/science/research-programmes/agata), highly relevant to
geospace and atmospheric research.


Thank you in advance for your nominations,

Mike
