The North Slope Science Initiative (NSSI) is seeking six new members for
its Science Technology Panel. The 15-member panel of scientists and
technical experts plays a critical advisory role for the NSSI and its
Oversight Group by assisting with resource inventories, monitoring, and
research needs for Alaska's North Slope.
Panel membership is diverse and may represent the oil and gas industry,
subsistence users, traditional ecological knowledge, conservation
organizations, academia, and other entities. Panel members may come from
disciplines such as landscape ecology, petroleum engineering, civil
engineering, geology, botany, hydrology, limnology, habitat biology,
wildlife biology, biometrics, sociology, cultural anthropology,
economics, ornithology, oceanography, fisheries biology, climatology, or
North Slope traditional and local knowledge.
The Secretary of the Interior appoints NSSI's Science Technology Panel
members for three-year terms. While serving on the panel, members will
be reimbursed for official travel (airline tickets, lodging, and per
diem) to participate on the panel. The Federal Advisory Committee Act
does not permit salaries, benefits, or honorariums for appointees.
Congress established the NSSI under Section 348 of the Energy Policy Act
of 2005 (Public Law 109-58). This Act directs the NSSI to coordinate
scientific data collections that will provide a better understanding of
the terrestrial, aquatic and marine ecosystems of Alaska's North Slope.
The NSSI also works to identify and prioritize information needs to
address individual and cumulative effects of development activities and
environmental change.
The Secretary of the Interior is required to consult and coordinate with
federal, state and local agencies and governments that have
responsibility for land and resource management across the North Slope,
including the marine environment, to ensure the comprehensive collection
of scientific data.
Nomination deadline: Monday, 2 February 2015.
