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!

CCOM Research Assistant Professor Jonathan Beaudoin was aboard the Schmidt Ocean Institute's research vessel, Falkor last month. During planned functional performance testing of the mutibeam mapping echosounders, the science team discovered the polar expedition vessel, S.S. Terra Nova, which sunk off the southern coast of Greenland in September 1943. (Image credit: Schmidt Ocean Institute)
