XXXII SCAR and Open Science Conference

该奖项支持国际社会开放科学会议（OSC），该会议将与定于7月13日举行的南极研究科学委员会（SCAR）第三十二届会议一起举行。2012年25日，俄勒冈州波特兰。OSC的首要主题是解决南极和南大洋科学的现状和未来前景，并帮助SCAR成员国，新兴的国家和国际南极计划，学生和早期职业科学家发展科学能力。今天，美国在制定议程和推进议程方面发挥着与过去几十年一样重要的作用。美国国家科学基金会的极地项目办公室、美国国家研究委员会的极地研究委员会、美国驻SCAR代表团以及个人研究科学家都参与了这项工作。SCAR/OSC为不同的美国和国际南极科学界之间的信息共享和网络提供了一个特殊的平台。会议地点在北美，有望吸引会议历史上最大规模的美国科学家参加。

This award supports an international community Open Science Conference (OSC) that will be held in conjunction with the Scientific Committee for Antarctic Research (SCAR) XXXII meeting scheduled for July 13?25, 2012 in Portland, OR. The overarching theme of the OSC is to address the current status and future prospects of the Antarctic and Southern Ocean sciences and help developing scientific capacity in the SCAR member countries, emerging national and international Antarctic programs, students and early career scientists. The United States has as an important role today in setting the agenda and carrying it forward as it has had in past decades. The NSF's Office of Polar Programs, NRC's Polar Research Board, U.S. delegation to SCAR, and individual research scientists all participate in that effort. The SCAR/OSC provides an exceptional platform for information sharing and networking among the diverse and disparate U.S. and international Antarctic science communities. The location of the meeting in North America promises to attract the largest U.S. scientists' participation in the meeting's history.
