THE ELSNERS: STRONG ADVOCATES FOR SIKULIAQ For years, Dr. Robert “Bob” Elsner has advocated for improved logistical support for research in Alaskan seas. In 1973, shortly after joining UAF, he and colleagues submitted a proposal to the National Science Foundation to build an ice-capable research vessel. After 36 years of development, multiple designs and much input, construction on the Research Vessel Sikuliaq began in December 2009. The vessel was funded by NSF and will be operated by UAF’s School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences. The Sikuliaq, designed by Seattle-based Glosten Associates, will be a 254-foot oceanographic research vessel capable of operating in seasonal ice and open seas. Sikuliaq, which means first-year sea ice in Inupiaq, was suggested to Bob Elsner by Alaska Native friends in Barrow. Currently under construction at Marinette Marine Corp., the Sikuliaq will be ready for research expeditions in 2014. UAF’s Seward Marine Center will be the vessel’s home port. Bob Elsner and his wife Betty have provided funds to support the library onboard the new ship. Researchers will appreciate the opportunity for study and relaxation in the vessel’s library as Bob Elsner and his colleagues did during earlier research voyages on the Research Vessel Alpha Helix. Bob Elsner celebrated 90 years last June. He and Betty are avid cross-country skiers and enjoy Fairbanks winters. The Elsners’ contributions to the Sikuliaq will be appreciated for many years to come. UNIVERSITY OF OF ALASKA FOUNDATION FY10 ANNUAL REPORT 19
