The Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) seeks nominations
for the 2012 SCAR Medals. The Antarctic science community is invited to
nominate candidates for:

- The SCAR Medal for Excellence in Antarctic Research; and
- The SCAR Medal for International Scientific Coordination.

An important SCAR activity is recognition of excellence in Antarctic and
Southern Ocean science and outstanding service to the international
Antarctic community, both of which are critical to advancing SCAR's
vision and mission. Peer recognition rewards and highlights those who
exemplify the best of the Antarctic community and serve as models for
the next generation of scientists and researchers.

The 2012 medals will be awarded at the XXXII SCAR meeting in Portland,
Oregon in July 2012. There are no age restrictions or limits on nominees
and no higher education degree requirements; everyone is eligible to be
nominated. Self-nominations are not accepted.

Nomination forms are available online, at: http://www.scar.org/awards.
Completed nomination forms should be submitted to Rosemary Nash
(rn283 [at] cam.ac.uk).

Nomination deadline: Thursday, 15 March 2012.
