Abstract

Observations of the polar regions from space have led to significant contributions in a variety of scientific disciplines: geophysics, geodesy, geology, glaciology, meteorology, climate, oceanography, biology, and the physics of the upper atmosphere, ionosphere, and magnetosphere. Some results in these diverse fields were described in papers presented at the recent joint COSPAR (Committee on Space Research) and SCAR (Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research) Workshop on Satellite Observations of the Antarctic: Past, Present, and Future. Other results were presented at the COSPAR Symposia on Space Observations for Climate Studies and on Achievements of the International Magnetospheric Study. Each of these meetings was held during the 25th Plenary meeting of COSPAR, which took place in Graz, Austria, from June 25 to July 7, 1984.
