Ocean-Atmosphere-Sea-Ice-Snowpack (OASIS)
Research Facility
Barrow, Alaska
Project Manager for Prime Contractor for the FAR (Federal Acquistion Regulations) Contract, Arctic Research Support and Logistics Services (ARSLS), with the National Science Foundation
Description:
Ocean - Atmosphere - Sea Ice - Snowpack (OASIS) was an international, multi-disciplinary program focusing on understanding the chemical and physical exchange processes that occur between the ocean, atmosphere, and cryosphere, and on understanding the impacts that these exchange processes have on tropospheric chemistry, climate, and the biosphere.
Key Achievements:
Provided facility to support science for OASIS project (atmospheric chemistry observations and modeling).
Facilitated design, fabrication, and installation of modules under budget and time constraints while coordinating with diverse stakeholders.
Identified and corrected planning deficiencies to facilitate design, fabrication, and installation of modules for science equipment in 12 days to meet OASIS Project polar sunrise deadline and reduce cost by 75%.
Directed facility installation onsite in Barrow, Alaska, for a month in winter to supervise ice road construction, escort OASIS modules from C-130 aircraft to the site and perform inspection to ensure proper installation of modules and equipment to meet deadline for science.
