Dear Colleagues:
We are pleased to announce the launch of the Antarctica NewS WEbsite and
Registry (ANSWER) list server. In an effort to increase communication
and facilitate participation by the broadest possible spectrum of polar
scientists in Antarctic research and affairs, this list server provides
a forum for information exchange. Modeled on the successful ARCUS list
server for Arctic science, ANSWER is intended to disseminate
information, communicate opportunities to the polar community, solicit
input and comment on important issues and topics, and to promote polar
science to the wider community of stakeholders.
In particular, the list server is intended to facilitate the polar
scientific community's participation in the international arena,
especially in the activities of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic
Research (SCAR) and the US National Antarctic Committee (the National
Research Council's Polar Research Board). We solicit information on
meetings, workshops, funding opportunities, international initiatives,
and any other topics of general interest to polar scientists. We also
ask that those of you on this initial list of subscribers notify your
colleagues of the launch of this list server. Comments, questions, and
suggestions for improving our interactions are encouraged and
appreciated.
Dr. Mahlon C. Kennicutt II, US Delegate to SCAR
