HEALY 1202 Research Cruise

CCOM researchers who were part of an international science team on a five-week expedition aboard the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy have returned from the Arctic. The cruise was a great success and they accomplished their mission to map the seafloor and collect data to help define the outer limits of the U.S. continental shelf. Stay tuned for data, images, and a cruise report but, in the meantime, read co-chief scientist Capt. Andy Armstrong's notes from the Arctic!
