The Chinese Arctic and Antarctic Administration (simplified Chinese: 国家海洋局极地考察办公室; traditional Chinese: 國家海洋局極地考察辦公室; pinyin: Guójiā hǎiyáng jú jídì kǎochá bàngōngshì), often abbreviated as the CAA (previously the Chinese Antarctic Administration of the State Antarctic Research Committee),[2] is a Beijing-based agency of the People's Republic of China's State Oceanic Administration (SOA). Established in 1981, it organizes China's scientific program for both the Arctic and Antarctic, and it provides logistic support to Antarctic expeditions. There are several divisions, including General Affairs, Operation & Logistics, Science Programs, International Cooperation, representation in the Chinese Embassy in Chile, and a Winter Training Base.[1] The director is Qu Tanzhou.[3]
The CAA organizes, coordinates, and supervises China's polar program. As such, its responsibilities include: developing an integrated national polar research strategy, developing policy to guide national polar research activities, developing a five-year plan which coordinates the national policy, updating the national polar plan on an annual basis, coordinating the annual national polar research expedition, promoting coordination of polar research programs with other agencies, and supporting polar research cooperation with other nations and international organizations.[4]
The CAA is affiliated with the International Arctic Research Center,[5]
and the International Arctic Science Committee.
