Nominations are open for the 2012 'Martha T. Muse Prize for Science and
Policy in Antarctica.' The prize is a USD $100,000 unrestricted award
presented to an individual in the fields of Antarctic science or policy
that has demonstrated potential for sustained and significant
contributions that will enhance the understanding and/or preservation of
Antarctica. The Tinker Foundation's goal is to establish a prestigious
award that recognizes excellence in Antarctic research by honoring
someone in the early to mid-stages of their career. The prize is
inspired by Martha T. Muse's passion for Antarctica, and is intended to
be a legacy of the International Polar Year 2007-2008.
The prizewinner can be from any country and work in any field of
Antarctic science or policy, including climate change, life sciences,
geo sciences, physical sciences, social sciences and humanities, and
Antarctic politics. The goal is to provide recognition of the important
work being done by the individual and to call attention to the
significance of understanding Antarctica in a time of change. The prize
is awarded by the Tinker Foundation and administered by the Scientific
Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR).
The 2012 Prize will be awarded at the SCAR Open Science Conference
scheduled for 16-19 July 2012 in Portland, Oregon.
