As the Antarctic season ramps up, participants will see a much-anticipated return to routine deployment counts after two years of significant reductions. The program is planning to host 90 science events and deploy more than 2,500 grantees, support team members, construction workers, and operations staff.  

Additionally, deployers will also begin seeing efforts to build a more robust Sexual Assault and Harassment Prevent and Response (SAHPR) program that emphasizes both prevention and support.
