User Debrief Interview Summaries

In order to better track the status of NDSF vehicle and system performance, DESSC will conduct debrief interviews of Principal Investigators who use Jason, Alvin, and ABE/Sentry. Agendas for DESSC meetings will include summary reports of these debriefs. Participation in the debriefs will include a DESSC representative, the science user, and the NDSF Chief Scientist (Chris German). A list of items that have been identified as problems or areas where improvement is needed will be documented.

Standardized questions have been developed for use during the debrief interviews <Post Cruise Debrief Questions>

The following individuals are the 2006 - 2008 DESSC representatives who will conduct debriefs:

• Jason– Bill Chadwick
• Alvin – Michael Tryon
• ABE/Sentry – Hedy Edmonds
