ARA scientist named National Geographic Magazine 'Emerging Explorer'  Applied Research Associates, Inc. Scientist, Tim Samaras is being named an 'Emerging Explorer' by National Geographic Magazine. Mr. Samaras is a Senior Engineer with ARA's Rocky Mountain Division, based in Littleton, Colorado. The National Geographic's Emerging Explorers Program recognizes and supports uniquely gifted and inspiring young adventurers, scientists, photographers, and storytellers—explorers who are already making a difference early in their careers. Mr. Samaras is among six individuals recognized this year. About the Emerging Explorer Program To help the Emerging Explorers realize their potential, National Geographic awards each of them U.S. $10,000 for research and exploration. Each year up to ten explorers are chosen from fields as diverse as anthropology, space exploration, mountaineering, and music.
The Emerging Explorers Program does not
accept applications or unsolicited nominations. National Geographic
relies on a network of experts who nominate new candidates each year.
Candidate lists are kept confidential, and nominees are not notified
that they have been nominated.
What qualities define Emerging Explorers? First and foremost, they should be at the beginning of a promising career in exploration. Their recent accomplishments should show a potential for future breakthroughs. In addition, the Emerging Explorers Program should reflect the world's diversity and should be a home for dynamic personalities who are making a significant contribution to world knowledge through exploration.
