The IDP convenes a Science Advisory Board (SAB) for the purpose of forming and updating a Long Range Science Plan that addresses multiple science disciplines and associated technology. Below are the current members of the SAB as well as SAB-related documents. The SAB also convenes two standing working groups: Englacial and Subglacial Access and Ice Core.
** Call for Nominations: Science Advisory Board of the NSF Ice Drilling Program **
The Science Advisory Board (SAB) for the NSF Ice Drilling Program (IDP) invites nominations, including self-nominations, from the U.S. scientific community to fill three open positions on the SAB. The SAB is seeking U.S.-based scientists with expertise in microbiology, ice-borehole/geophysical measurements, subglacial rock and sediment science, or related fields involving ice or subglacial materials and environments.
The primary purpose of the SAB is to provide advice and input on scientific issues pertaining to the NSF Ice Drilling Program, including annual updates to the IDP Long Range Science Plan. SAB members typically serve four-year terms, attend two annual SAB meetings per year – usually held virtually – and collaborate remotely as needed.
Please send nominations or self-nominations, including the nominee’s statement of interest and resume to the current SAB Chair, Sarah Shackleton (sarah.shackleton@whoi.edu), at your earliest convenience and no later than September 30, 2026.
