The Tinker Foundation and the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research
(SCAR) invite nominations for the Martha T. Muse Prize for Science and
Policy in Antarctica. The prize is a one time, unrestricted award of USD
$100,000, presented to an individual in any field of Antarctic science
or policy, who has demonstrated potential for sustained and significant
contributions that will enhance the understanding and/or preservation of
Antarctica. The prize is inspired by Martha T. Muse's passion for
Antarctica, and is intended to be a legacy of the International Polar
Year (IPY).
The prizewinner can be from any country and work in any field of
Antarctic science or policy. The goal is to provide recognition of the
important work being done by the individual, and to call attention to
the significance of understanding Antarctica in a time of change.
