The Future of Thwaites Glacier and its Contribution to Sea-level Rise Science Coordination Office Proposal (SCO)
The ITGC Science Coordination Office coordinates the eight funded research projects to deliver the best possible science for the funding agencies and the public of both the US and UK. Its primary mission is to integrate the individual grants under a shared vision and plan, look for and propose adjustments to the science field data activities to maximize the effectiveness of the ITGC program as a whole, and to assist in the coordination of media outreach, web content and education products for the program.
