This notice applies only to investigators requesting UNAVCO support as
part of the U.S. Antarctic Program Support Information Package (SIP) in
POLAR ICE.

Investigators who are requesting UNAVCO resources for geodetic GPS,
LiDAR, and power systems for the upcoming 2010-11 Antarctic field season
should be aware of a procedural change in the support request process.
The completion of the UNAVCO online support request form, at
http://facility.unavco.org/, is required at the time of POLAR ICE SIP
submission. This is in addition to completing the appropriate form in
POLAR ICE (under Services). UNAVCO staff will contact you based on this
submission to discuss your project needs and provide a letter of support
commitment.

UNAVCO and Raytheon Polar Services Company are streamlining the
mechanics of requesting UNAVCO support and moving the request details
from POLAR ICE to the standard UNAVCO project support request form. This
is expected to allow for better planning and tracking of project
requirements. Your patience is appreciated as during this transition you
may be asked to provide duplicate information.
