In assessing the research. The needs for the Arctic and Offshore Research (AOR) Subprogram, Morgantown Energy Technology Center with the DOE Fossil Energy Office of Oil, Gas, and Shale Technology, developed a 5-year plan that includes the following activities: (1) AOR data base development and coordination; (2) ice research; (3) seafloor soils research; and (4) subice arctic research. The DOE Arctic and Offshore Research Subprogram was initiated in FY 83, the major programming activities were performed in January and February 1983, and the program evolved to its present form by the conclusion of FY 83. The current program activities have included determining the various Arctic bibliographic data bases and initiating most pieces of the research described above (except multi-year ice properties, pipeline research, and subice feasibility studies. The seismic-measurements study continues the work initiated by the Energy Research and Development Administration, updated with an Arctic emphasis. The FY 83 accomplishments include redesigning the seafloor earthquake measurements system (SEMS) and assessing the preliminary Alaska site for potential SEMS deployment. 1 reference, 1 figure, 9 tables.
