He has been a contributor to science planning for glaciological and
solid-earth geosciences in the polar regions, to international efforts to
track pollution in the Arctic, and to
archive and sample allocation at the National Ice Core Laboratory. He is a current
member of the NSF-funded Ice Core
Working Group and the steering committee for the International
Partnerships in Ice Coring Sciences (IPICS) initiative.
Steig served as Associate Editor (2001-2004) and Senior Editor (2005-2008)
of the journal Quaternary
Research, and continues as Special Editor for occasional
solicited
papers of interest. Steig is active in public education, and has given
lectures to organizations such as the Padilla Bay National Estuarine
Research Reserve on the Washington State coast, and the Nature
Conservancy. He is a founding member and contributor to the influential
climate science web site, "RealClimate.org"
