<div>Hi all</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You probably saw this announcement. Chris is here in DC
already and his first full day at NSF is today. He did his coi
training yesterday with Diane. Chuck will be leaving NSF at the
end of the month so the two of them will run the AOE panel
together next week. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There seems to be some optimism regarding Lisa's replacement
at AISS, but no real news. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I had a good chat with Saran yesterday and we discussed the
situation of a new AISS program manager so close to our renewal.
We all hope that the chosen candidate will be familiar with
LTER, but if they are not, it will be in our collective
interests (including Saran's) to orient them quickly. </div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Subject: Dr. Christian
Fritsen appointed Program Director for Antarctic
Organisms and Ecosystems</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Colleagues,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am pleased to announce the
appointment of Dr. Christian Fritsen as Program
Director for the Antarctic Organisms and Ecosystems
Program in the Antarctic Sciences Section of the
Division of Polar Programs. Dr. Fritsen is a
Research Professor in the Division of Earth and
Ecosystem Sciences at the Desert Research Institute
(DRI). He also served as DRI’s Vice President for
Academic and Faculty Affairs, is a member of the
graduate faculty in Hydrology and Environmental
sciences at the University of Nevada, Reno, and has
served as Director of both the Nevada Space Grant
Consortium and Nevada NASA Experimental Program to
Stimulate Competitive Research. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Chris earned his Bachelor’s
degree from Montana State University in 1990 and
Ph.D. in the biological sciences with an emphasis in
oceanography from the University of Southern
California in 1996. His interest in marine biology
and oceanography dates from his childhood when he
spent time fly fishing the rivers of Montana and
reading about the oceans and its inhabitants in
books, such as
<i>Shark Stories</i>. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Dr. Fritsen’s leadership of algal
and systems ecology research has spanned more than
15 years. His systems ecology perspective has
included studies on organismal survival and growth
as well as energy transfer and material cycling
processes in a range of polar habitats (e.g. frozen
lakes, glaciers, snow, sea ice, subglacial lakes) as
well as habitats in the Great Basin of Nevada.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">His first research in Antarctica
entailed work from a floating ice station for
several months. Along with U.S. and
Russian colleagues, Chris conducted biological,
chemical and physical oceanographic studies of the
western Weddell Sea. His broad polar ecosystem
interests continued to develop during subsequent
research in the McMurdo Dry Valleys and through
interdisciplinary research along the western
Antarctic Peninsula. These diverse activities led to
an interest in serving the polar research community.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please join me in welcoming Dr.
Fritsen to the Division of Polar Programs and the
GEO team. Chris began serving on an intermittent
basis on 15 June and so has been coming up to speed.
He will begin a full-time appointment as a rotator
on 14 July. </p>
