Notes from the Field

The Operation IceBridge mission flew its suite of airborne instruments over Antarctica's Larsen C ice shelf and I caught a first-hand look.

Trying to clearly explain the carbonate chemistry of seawater taxes the best in our field.

While ocean moorings are often described as autonomous observing platforms, the human ingenuity required to deploy and recover them demands a steady human with a tight grip.

For the first time, Operation IceBridge flights to Antarctica are being staged from Ushuaia, Argentina.

PURS-2 continues a legacy of experiments focused on the dance between the atmosphere and ocean.

There is a robotic revolution going on in oceanography.

Sometimes the technology of the lab and the concept of an experiment run afoul of reality and the sea.

Life on an oceanographic research vessel is definitely different than daily life ashore.

Eric Lindstrom passed up rocks and geology to pursue oceanography, a path that ultimately landed him at NASA.
