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

U.S. station has a station manager for operations/logistics
support and a station science leader. Station managers for the
