Dear colleagues and friends,<br>
<br>
I would like to inform you that Dr. Jenny Baeseman is going to be the new<br>
SCAR Executive Director. She was selected in a process in which 27<br>
applications were received. Jenny has been Executive Director of the WCRP<br>
Climate and Cryosphere (CliC) project since 2012 and previous to that was<br>
the Founding Director of the Association of Polar Early Career Scientists<br>
(APECS). She will start to work for SCAR part time from 1st July 2015 and<br>
full time from 1st September 2015. I look forward Jenny continuing the<br>
excellent trajectory marked by our previous executive directors, Colin<br>
Summerhayes and Mike Sparrow.<br>
<br>
I use this opportunity to publically thank Mike Sparrow for his efficient<br>
work and important contribution to SCAR during the last years as<br>
Executive Director, and wish him all the best in his new job.<br>
<br>
I would also like to thank Rosemary Nash and Eoghan Griffin for their<br>
excellent work and commitment, especially in these particularly busy<br>
times.<br>
<br>
SCAR is in a very busy period, with the XXXVIII ATCM and XVIII CEP<br>
meetings (1-10 June 2015, Sofia, Bulgaria), the XII ISAES that will start<br>
shortly (13-17 July 2015, Goa, India), the EXCOM meeting, including the<br>
discussions about the revision of the SCAR structure and the next<br>
strategic plan in less than three months (26-29 August 2015, Tromso,<br>
Norway). The plans for the 2016 XXXIV SCAR Meeting and the Open Science<br>
Conference (19-31 August 2016, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) are advancing<br>
well, and many other initiatives and workshops are going to take place in<br>
the coming times.<br>
<br>
The projection of SCAR in different fora, like at the last ATCM, and our<br>
relationships with our partner organizations are excellent. Several<br>
countries have recently approached SCAR to become new members of our<br>
organization.<br>
<br>
All this is thanks to the contribution and effort of the SCAR community,<br>
and I would like to thank all of you for this.<br>
<br>
With best wishes,<br>
<br>
Jeronimo Lopez-Martinez<br>
President of SCAR<br>
