U.S. Naval Academy Polar Science and Technology (USNA-PS and T) Program

Abstract

In Fiscal Year (FY) 2015, through support from the Office of Naval Research Code 32 (ONR 32) Arctic and Global Prediction Program, the Oceanography Department at the U.S. Naval Academy (USNA) (re-)established a multi-disciplinary, undergraduate, field research-based Polar Science and Technology (S and T) program (USNA-PS and TP) based on the highly-successful USNA Polar Science Program (USNA-PSP) that existed from FY 2011-14. The expanded goals of the new USNA-PS and TP are to: 1) Develop faculty-led undergraduate Midshipmen research and engineering Capstone projects targeted towards specific S and T objectives/needs of the U.S. Navy. 2) Enhance course development and materials for Midshipman education in Polar Science. 3) Provide a faculty and Midshipman S and T work force with experience in conducting research in Polar environments for collaboration and partnership with the Naval Research Enterprise (NRE) and the greater Polar S and T community on field-oriented S and T projects.
