United States Antarctic Program (USAP)

The United States Antarctic Program (USAP) is a federal initiative that supports research and exploration in Antarctica. Managed by the National Science Foundation (NSF), USAP conducts scientific studies related to climate change, biology, glaciology, and more in this remote region. It operates several research stations and field camps, facilitating a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the unique Antarctic environment. USAP also focuses on logistics and safety, ensuring researchers can safely conduct their work in extreme conditions. Overall, it plays a crucial role in advancing our knowledge of both Antarctica and global environmental issues.
