IDP Policy for Acknowledgements

The NSF Ice Drilling Program (IDP) is a program funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) that conducts ice coring and drilling in some of the world’s most intriguing and challenging environments: the Arctic, Antarctic, and temperate glaciers. The cores and boreholes produced provide important evidence of the past, and the drilling scene is compelling. IDP engineers, drillers, and IDP drilling apparatus in the field need to be acknowledged in photos, social media, and press releases. In addition, IDP must be acknowledged in publication of results of analysis of ice cores, rock cores, and samples that IDP has drilled. Our policy for each is as follows.
