United States Antarctic Program

The United States Antarctic Program (USAP) is a scientific initiative that supports research in Antarctica, managed by the National Science Foundation (NSF). It involves conducting studies on climate change, wildlife, glaciology, and other fields to understand Earth's systems. The program provides logistics, such as transportation and research facilities, for scientists from the U.S. and around the world. By facilitating international collaboration, the USAP enhances our understanding of polar environments and their global impacts, contributing to essential knowledge about our planet's future.
