The Antarctic Research Series provides for the presentation of detailed scientific research
results from Antarctica, particularly the results of the United States Antarctic Research Program,
including monographs and long manuscripts.
The series is designed to make the results of Antarctic fieldwork available. The Antarctic
Research Series encourages the collection of papers on specific geographic areas within Antarc￾tica. In addition, many volumes focus on particular disciplines, including marine biology,
oceanology, meteorology, upper atmosphere physics, terrestrial biology, geology, glaciology,
human adaptability, engineering, and environmental protection.
