Folder National Member Reports (254)

There are many countries that are active in Antarctic research and SCAR helps to coordinate those activities. One pivotal way this was done in the earlier years of SCAR was through the reporting from member countries. Here you will find reports from our member countries (countries not listed have submitted no reports). Since 2018, National Member Reports are no longer mandatory, although some members do still choose to submit them.
