U.S. cancels or curtails half of its Antarctic research projects
Marine biologist Michelle Shero had every reason to expect this to be a better year on the Antarctic ice. Since receiving a 5-year, $1.1 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) in 2019 to study the reproductive success of Weddell seals in McMurdo Sound, Shero has been sent down for just one, truncated field season. But in January NSF had assured Shero that her team would be deployed in October for a full 4 months, and by June she had packed up and shipped out some $200,000 in equipment and supplies.
