The SCINI team met at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories in California on August 23rd and 24th. There are eight people on the team and, in future posts, I will be giving you quizzes to learn more about each team member and what they will be doing on the expedition.
First, though, meet Stacy! Stacy is the P.I. (Principal Investigator) of the project. She wrote the proposal to get SCINI (Submersible Capable of under Ice Navigation and Imaging) funded. This project is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Stacy is busy here making sure she has all the paperwork for the project.
Here is another look at Stacy. Did the project make her hair turn gray?
Stacy is wearing a wetsuit. Wetsuits are skin-tight and are made of neoprene so she uses baby powder to help her get into the wetsuit. The baby powder has made her hair gray!
In the next entry you can meet SCINI!
