Oversight
The United States Antarctic Program is managed by the
National Science Foundation (NSF). The NSF designates a Senior U.S. Representative in Antarctica,
and designates an NSF Representative, Antarctica, to coordinate all field activities. Unless
otherwise specified, the Senior U.S. Representative in Antarctica is the Director, Office of
Polar Programs (OPP), located at the National Science Foundation.
NSF Representatives in Antarctica (TBA) will be stationed at McMurdo, Palmer, and South Pole
Stations during the austral summer operating season. Additionally, Antarctic Support Associates
(ASA), under contract to the National Science Foundation, will provide station management year
round.
Officers in Charge of Bases
Each U.S. station has a station manager for
operations/logistics support and a station science leader. Station managers for the
1998-99 season will be:
