Take The Chair’s Challenge- New Chair to match gifts to Foundation until 30 June, 2022
Prof Tony Haymet, new Chair of The Antarctic Science Foundation, is emphatic: this is the most exciting time in the last 30 years to be involved in Antarctic science.
The Antarctic research community has recently been buoyed by the:
• arrival of RSV Nuyina, Australia’s new icebreaker;
• continued bipartisan support for Australian science in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean;
• renewed commitment to conduct field research in East Antarctica;
• commencement of the Million Year Ice Core project; and
• announcement of new research positions and additional resources for the Australian Antarctic Program.
The Antarctic Science Foundation is poised to build on this momentum.
As a supporter, you are unique in your interest and commitment: you back the tenacious people and ambitious projects, providing the answers we need to flourish for generations to come.
Tony has made a personal commitment to match all gifts made to Foundation before 30 June, 2022 *
