Thursday, April 06, 2017
Karen Frey
“As research questions in the Arctic sciences are inherently interdisciplinary, scientifically complex, require logistically difficult field operations, and oftentimes have an international scope, committees such as IASC are incredibly important for facilitating collaboration among researchers in this field,” said Professor Frey. “I’m thrilled to have been appointed to serve with such an impressive group of Arctic scientists,” said Frey.
She will serve at least a four-year term.
