Abstract
A workshop sponsored by the National Science Foundation's Office of Polar Programs was held in Virginia in September 2004 to explore scientific opportunities for multidisciplinary research aircraft used in Antarctic research. This LARA (Long-range Aircraft for Research in Antarctica) workshop was attended by more than 60 research scientists representing a diverse community. The workshop had 3 goals: (1) name the important scientific questions where gaps exist in our current knowledge; (2) justify the need for new scientific research tools; and (3) recommend to NSF the necessary requirements for a long-range research aviation facility.
