Today marks the 10th anniversary of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science!
Women remain underrepresented in STEM, especially in polar research.

Our EDI AG is launching a year-long initiative to feature a woman in science every month.

New insights into Antarctica’s shifting landscape:

The SCAR-endorsed GIANT-REGAIN project has released a new, consistent GNSS data set from 286 Antarctic sites. This resource will help scientists study bedrock movement, ice mass changes & sea-level rise.
