The objective of this project is to assist ONR in implementing its research goals in the Arctic. The primary obligation under this grant is to provide logistical support to the University of Washington, as well as other national and foreign ONR-sponsored investigators. The objective is met by assuming major responsibilities in the area of planning, coordination, and management of field programs. This includes the procurement of logistical equipment and supplies, contracting for services such as ship and aircraft support, and hiring temporary field personnel. Additionally, the grant maintains a substantial oceanographic and logistics equipment pool for use by ONR-sponsored investigators.
