SCAR has three overarching Science Groups that help to coordinate activities on the disciplinary level. SCAR Member countries are asked to nominate at least one representative from their country to help oversee SCAR’s activities within the disciplinary Science Groups – GeoSciences, Life Sciences, and Physical Sciences. These representatives help to guide the research undertaken as well as make decisions on approving new groups and setting group budgets. They are also asked to provide information on activities within their country that can be shared with the larger Antarctic community. For more information on how SCAR works, please visit the SCAR membership guide.
