Summary of Field Work: |
I am a USCG approved instructor and teach USCG approved courses required by the International Maritime Organization's Polar Code for ships operating in high latitudes. I teach Basic and Advanced Training for Polar Operations and operate the institutes simulators. My field work would be observing the ship's operations, among other things. The intensive two week course curriculum covers all aspects of high latitude operations to include; in part, polar weather, marine mammals, sensitivity to indigenous populations, voyage planning, ice reporting schemes, ice navigation, on-ice safety, implications for fire fighting in freezing conditions, icebreaker escorting, helicopter operations, use of RADAR in ice. My home institution has hosted several courses for USCG Polar Class cutter crews and if I recall correctly, the USCGC HEALY crew as well. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
My research would involve only observing ship operations as it relates to my field work. As a U.S. Merchant Marine captain I have the experience to conduct these observations unobtrusively and diplomatically. |
