United States Antarctic Research Report to the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR)

Many nations conduct research and engage in other scientific activities on our frozen continent--Antarctica. Each year the U.S. National Committee for the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) compiles a book that includes these nations' reports of scientific pursuits undertaken by their citizens in Antarctica during the previous austral summer and of planned activities for the next season. This book details the activities that occurred in 1990 and is of particular value to policymakers and scientists throughout the world who are planning Antarctic programs.
