The objective of our work under this contract was to assist the Office of Naval Research in implementing their research goals in the Arctic. Our primary obligations were to provide logistical support for a major field experiment, CEAREX, involving University of Washington and other U.S. and foreign investigators and to prepare for a second major field program, LeadEx. These obligations involved assuming major responsibilities in the planning, coordination, and management of the field programs. The responsibilities included procuring logistical and scientific equipment and supplies, contracting for support services such as ships and aircraft, and hiring temporary personnel for support in the field.
