The US Antarctic Science Meeting is open to anyone interested in US Antarctic research. The meeting will provide opportunities for scientists to get together and discuss US Antarctic research, learn about news from SCAR, and the various resources available to US scientists for Antarctic-related research. There will be a mix of research presentations, panels and social activities for the US Antarctic community to meet and interact. The panels will have brief presentations by panelists, and time for questions and discussion. It will be a Zoom meeting, not a webinar. The meeting is a good opportunity to find out what is happening outside of your own area of expertise.
