2005-2006 Event Numbering System
All projects are identified by a unique event number. It comprises a prefix, a 3-digit number, and a suffix.
Prefix List Projects By Program
The prefix is a letter that indicates the USAP program funding a project.
Prefix USAP Program
A Aeronomy & Astrophysics
B Biology & Medicine
G Geology & Geophysics
I Glaciology
O Oceans & Climate Systems
W Artists & Writers
T Technical Event
3-Digit Number List Projects By Event Number
The 3-digit number provides the uniqueness for each event number. No two projects have the same number.
Suffix List Projects By Research Station
The suffix represents the supporting station. If field work takes place at more than one location the event number carries more than one suffix separated by a slash.
Suffix Supporting Station
M McMurdo Station
P Palmer Station
S South Pole Station
L R/V Laurence M. Gould
N RV/IB Nathaniel B. Palmer
E Special projects supported by the USAP. Examples include investigators working with other national antarctic programs, groups working on islands in the peninsula.
