The Arctic Icebreaker Coordinating Committee (AICC), a committee of the
University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS), announces
an extended deadline for the call for nominations of new members. The
committee seek members willing to serve the Arctic scientific community
in meetings over a three-year term, starting in the fall of 2015.
Extended deadline for nominations: Friday, 28 August 2015.
The AICC serves a liaison function by providing oversight and advice to
the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Polar Sciences and
to the U.S. Coast Guard for the purpose of enhancing scientific
facilities and capabilities aboard their icebreaker fleet. The AICC
solicits, synthesizes, and presents the needs of the Arctic science
community to the Coast Guard and the NSF, fulfills an ombudsman role
when necessary, and facilitates the efficient and effective execution of
scientific research by U.S. icebreakers. The AICC also promotes new
technology for Arctic research and its utilization on icebreaker
facilities, and provides information to the scientific community to
facilitate organization of research projects.
The AICC accomplishes these tasks through email discussions, telephone
debriefs of current year research cruises and annual meetings, and
telephone conferences. Meetings are held at NSF in Arlington, Virginia,
and at the Coast Guard facility in Seattle, Washington, where the U.S.
Coast Guard icebreaker fleet is based.
Nominees should have expertise in chemical, physical, biological, or
geological oceanography or meteorology; polar field experience,
particularly icebreaker experience; and a record of conducting Arctic
research. The disciplinary balance and expertise of the current
Committee membership and diversity of institutional representation are
additional considerations.
Interested persons are invited to submit their applications to the UNOLS
Office. Applicants need not be U.S. citizens, but must be employed at an
institution situated within the U.S.
Nomination and application packages that include curriculum vitae and a
cover letter describing the nominee's field experience, Arctic research
publication record, and expression of interest in the AICC's activities
should be submitted via email to UNOLS (office [at] unols.org).
Extended deadline for nominations: Friday, 28 August 2015.
