Caption- Abstract: |
Sunsets started to tease the Arctic
horizon as scientists on board the
U.S.
Coast Guard Cutter Healy headed south in
the Chukchi Sea during the
final days
collecting ocean data for the 2011
ICESCAPE mission.
The ICESCAPE mission,
or "Impacts of Climate on Ecosystems and
Chemistry
of the Arctic Pacific
Environment," is a NASA shipborne
investigation to
study how changing
conditions in the Arctic affect the
ocean's chemistry
and ecosystems. The
bulk of the research took place in the
Beaufort and
Chukchi seas in summer 2010
and 2011.
