NSF Invites Media to Apply for July Visit to Arctic Field Research Sites in Greenland
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is accepting written requests from professional journalists to report on research--including studies of the ice sheet, climate change and atmospheric chemistry--supported in Greenland by NSF's Office of Polar Programs (OPP).
OPP and NSF's Office of Legislative and Public Affairs (OLPA) jointly manage and coordinate media visits to the Polar Regions.
NSF supports numerous field research projects in Greenland, many of which are international in scope. NSF will select a small group of journalists to visit the Greenland Environmental Observatory, Summit (GEOSummit) and other remote sites in Greenland--as weather permits--that represent the range of science in the area. Journalists would deploy between July 12 and 19, 2011.
** Application deadline is June 20, 2011; deployments to take place between July 12 and July 19, 2011 **
NSF Polar Media Program
The National Science Foundation's (NSF) Office of Legislative and Public Affairs conducts an annual competition to select television, radio, newspaper, and magazine reporters to visit and report on U.S. facilities in the Antarctic and the Arctic. Contact NSF Public Affairs Specialist Debbie Wing (dwing@nsf.gov) to find out the specific requirements for and limitations on media visitors.
