Talk:United States Antarctic Program

Effects of 2013 US government sequestration and shutdown
Can we get a discussion of the effects of the funding cuts and funding uncertainty on Antarctic research at McMurdo, South Pole, and Palmer?

The topic has received a fair bit of news coverage already, such as "Shutdown puts the entire US Antarctic research program on ice" and "Shutdown Forces Antarctic Research Into 'Caretaker Status'"

Some of permanent and otherwise serious repercussions on international science efforts are mentioned in the comments to the petition "Congress: Shutdown Exemption for the United States Antarctic Program". The facts that are useful for the Wikipedia article could be sourced from more official sources.
