Antarctic Institute of Canada
- Antarctic Institute of Canada
The Antarctic Institute of Canada, founded in 1985 in Alberta, Canada by Austin Mardon, is devoted to the furthering of research and support of Antarctic studies in Canada. It has lobbied the federal government for over two decades for Canada to engage in active research in Antarctica and it hopes to be the catlyst for one day for Canada to have an Antarctic station and active "on ice" research program. The Institute is headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
In the late 1990s, the Antarctic Institute of Canada's president proposed an idea that was published first in the United States that Canada have active exchange programs with Antarctic nations. Over 30 scholarly communications have been published in the peer-reviewed scholarly literature sponsored by the Antarctic Institute of Canada.
