Oversight
The United States Antarctic Program is managed by the National Science Foundation
(NSF). The NSF designates a Senior U.S. Representative in Antarctica, and designates an
NSF Representative, Antarctica, to coordinate all field activities. Unless otherwise
specified, the Senior U.S. Representative in Antarctica is the Director, Office of Polar
Programs (OPP), located at the National Science Foundation.
NSF Representatives in Antarctica (TBA) will be stationed at McMurdo, Palmer, and
South Pole Stations during the austral summer operating season. Additionally, Raytheon
Polar Services Company (RPSC), under contract to the National Science Foundation,
will provide station management year round.
