Bob Zook, the project engineer, has posted a picture of what the ROV will look like when it is finished (though maybe with different colors). Bob writes: The SCINI ROV (SCINI stands for Submersible Constructed for Under Ice Navigation and Imaging) will have 5 thrusters for maneuvering, 2 cameras and

Hi everyone! This is my last journal entry- I'm back home in Bellingham, WA. It's beautiful and green here, much different than the Bering Sea (Which was beautiful, but in a different way). It's nice to be home and in my own bed again, but I will definitely miss the USCGC Healy and all the wonderful

I had learned from Dr. Michael Cameron, that we were about to pass through the most concentrated seal soup of the entire mission around 9:30 yesterday evening. He said that there were so many seals in that region, that the helo opps (helicopter observations) had to take turns recording their seals

So on the ship at some point the science party has got to start to wind down. The actual sampling begins to slow and soon, for some, no more cores to section or mud to analyze. This was just the case with the WWU and UW crew. Bonnie Chang finished the last of her flux analysis and realized she still

I’ve been feeling a little sad these past few days because the Healy 0701 mission is coming to a close. There’s been so much data taken, so many measurements done, and more than a few hypotheses tested. So WHAT has been learned? The CTD was lowered and fired over 200 times. This research here

I went up to the bridge earlier today to do an ice observation and noticed quite a crowd. I found out as I took my three photos of the ice that the ship was heading toward a herd of walrus. Of course, not too close and under the supervision of walrus specialist, Carleton Ray, the ship was

I was impressed with the hypotheses that I received about what happened to the Styrofoam cups…nicely done everyone! I know you all are interested to see what happened…drum roll please… Perfectly intact! But wait… *Shrunk to miniature proportions!! Behind is the size of Styrofoam cup I started out

Since coming home from the Orientation in Fairbanks at the end of March, there has been an ever-growing list of things to do to get ready for Summit, Greenland. At the top of the list were the medical and dental check ups. I have never had the need for so many tests, but everyone was wonderful and

During this scientific mission to the ice pack of the Bering Sea, I have met many new creatures. Let me introduce you to yet one more. Dr. David Hyrenbach Scientific name: Hyrenbachia daveediosus PhD Where does Dr David live? Dr. David lives in Greenlake, slightly north of down-town

The ship hunted for ice today. That’s right. The scientists wanted to get out and do at least one more ice operations before we got too far south past the ice edge. So the Captain and several others found a nice piece and eased the ship ever so gently until we were just rubbing against it. The
