The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine seek
nominations of potential new Polar Research Board (PRB) members with
expertise and practical experience across all areas of polar science
(both physical and social sciences), engineering, and policy. The goal
is to have a board that is diverse and forward-thinking.
The PRB is the focal point within the National Academies for providing
independent advice to the federal government and others on issues
related to the Arctic and Antarctic. The Board identifies, develops, and
oversees activities such as discussion forums, program and document
reviews, assistance in setting priorities and identifying research
opportunities, evaluation of technologies and methodologies, analyses of
controversial and nationally-important topics, and information
dissemination. The PRB also serves the nation at the international level
as the U.S. National Committee to two international non-governmental
polar science organizations: the Scientific Committee on Antarctic
Research (SCAR) and the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC).
The Board's volunteer members normally meet two times each year to give
oversight to current PRB activities, plan new activities, and interact
with a wide array of scientists and decision-makers.
Nomination deadline: Friday, 28 April 2017.
