Review of the US Antarctic Program: Future Science Opportunities in the Antarctic and Southern Ocean

智力价值：应管理和预算办公室和科学技术政策办公室的要求，国家研究委员会将成立南极和南大洋科学审查小组，以确定和总结在南极洲和周围南大洋进行的高优先级科学，这些科学将在未来20年需要关注。该委员会将以其他组织的工作为基础：总结南极洲和南大洋的科学成就；确定未来20年美国在南极洲和南大洋的科学计划的预期类型和范围的变化；审查国际南极科学合作的适当机会；报告任何可能增强美国满足科学优先事项能力的新兴技术；并建议从科学的角度来看应该改进的广泛的后勤能力。小组将在成立后10至12个月内提交报告。这项研究的结果将为评估USAP后勤需求的蓝带小组审查提供输入。更广泛的影响：这项活动将有助于确保USAP未来的研究需求得到满足。核管理委员会将确保委员会成员和研讨会参与者的多样性。产生的报告将广泛散发。

Intellectual Merit: At the request of the Office of Management and Budget and Office of Science and Technology Policy, the National Research Council will establish the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Science Review panel to identify and summarize the high priority science conducted on Antarctica and the surrounding Southern Ocean that will demand attention over the next two decades. The committee will build upon the work of other organizations to: summarize scientific achievements in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean; identify changes to anticipated types and scope of scientific programs for the U.S. in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean over the next two decades; examine appropriate opportunities for international Antarctic scientific collaborations; report any new emerging technologies that could enhance the U.S. ability to meet science priorities; and recommend broad logistical capabilities that, from a science perspective, should be improved. The Panel will deliver its report within 10-12 months of formation. The outcomes of this study will provide input to a companion blue ribbon panel review assessing logistical needs for the USAP. Broader impacts: This activity will help ensure that USAP research needs are met in the future. The NRC will ensure diversity in committee membership as well as workshop participants. The resulting report will be disseminated widely.
