Research infrastructure enables discovery and advancement in understanding in all research areas supported by the Directorate. Research infrastructure includes, for instance, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the academic research fleet, Polar research support organizations (e.g. the US Antarctic Program), and facilities dedicated to advancing seismological and geodetic knowledge of Earth. Interagency and international partnerships are integral to activities sponsored by the Geosciences Directorate and provide unparalleled experiences and leadership opportunities for scientists (students to senior investigators) at US institutions.

A member of the Senior Executive Service, he assists in leadership of the largest research directorate within the Foundation. The Geosciences Directorate includes the Divisions of Ocean Sciences, Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, and Earth Sciences, as well as the Office of Polar Programs. Research and education activities supported by the Foundation are implemented through proposals submitted by investigators at universities and research organizations across the United States. Research supported by the Directorate for Geosciences spans all disciplines within the geosciences broadly and is carried out worldwide. Research in the polar regions also includes social sciences (in the Arctic), biological sciences, and astronomy/astrophysics (in Antarctica). Critical research infrastructure is also a major component of the Directorate and includes activities such as: support for the US Academic Research Fleet; support for the National Center for Atmospheric Research; support of facilities that enable research in seismology and geodesy; and management and oversight of the United States Antarctic Program (USAP) in support of NSF’s role as lead agency for the U.S. presence in Antarctica. In supporting this broad research portfolio, the Directorate relies on strong interagency and international partnerships. Show less
