The University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) Arctic Marine Research Capabilities Committee (AMRCC) invites input from the Arctic marine community via their Community Survey.
The AMRCC is a UNOLS Special Committee established to review and refresh science missions and science mission requirements (SMRs) of future Federal icebreakers operating in the Arctic Ocean and other northern polar regions. The Committee is evaluating if existing Arctic SMRs meet current needs for Arctic research on Federal icebreakers and is identifying any additional SMRs required to ensure that Federal icebreakers will meet the needs of the Arctic marine research community for the next 30 years.
Specifically, the Committee is reviewing and refreshing SMRs for (a) any commercially available polar icebreaker that may be acquired or procured and refit for operation by the Federal government; and (b) the conceptual design of future “medium” or “heavy” Federal-flagged and owned icebreakers.
The Committee urges anyone interested to complete the survey as it will be extremely helpful to the Committee.
