Important Notice - Suspending Support for NSF:
Effective immediately, PGC is suspending all new requests for data, products, and services due to a lapse in NSF renewal funding. We are currently wrapping up active projects as we transition staff and resources. We’re incredibly proud to have supported the polar research and logistics communities for decades. While this is a difficult moment, we remain hopeful about future opportunities. If your work is affected, please contact your NSF program officer. Stay tuned for updates as the situation evolves.
