Who's Who - Polar Acronyms

A program supported by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The mission of the TAS program is to give teachers a clearer insight into our ocean planet, a greater understanding of maritime work and studies, and to increase their level of environmental literacy by fostering an interdisciplinary research experience. The program provides a unique environment for learning and teaching by sending teachers to sea aboard NOAA research and survey ships to work under the tutelage of scientists and crew.
