Adam Garbo’s Cryologger beacons featured by Rock Seven
Adam Garbo's Cryologger beacons are featured this month on the Rock Seven blog. Rock Seven makes the Iridium modems that send data from the beacons to us scientists! To see the data from the beacons that were deployed in September from the CCGS Amundsen go to: http://cryologger.org/
Welcome back Jesse and Adam
Jesse Smith and Adam Garbo just got back from the Amundsen science cruise. They had lots of success including deploying 6 iceberg tracking beacons, conducting 4.5 km of ice island radar surveys and organizing the recovery our stationary ice penetrating radar with the help of Abby Dalton, Claire Bernard-Grand'Maison (UOttawa), ArcticNet Executive Director Leah Braithwaite [...]
Martin St-Amant defended his MSc thesis…
Martin St-Amant successfully defended his MSc thesis on using Structure from Motion Photogrammetry to map sea ice topography from a small UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). Congratulations to him and wishing him all the best in his future geomatics career!
GG Julie Payette helps out with our ice island research
A special thanks to Governor General Julie Payette, Leah Braithwaite, Abby Dalton, Claire Bernard-Grand'Maison and others for helping to recover our equipment from ice island PIIA-1-f! https://twitter.com/GGJuliePayette/status/1036235713862352897
Congratulations Dr. Crawford
A belated, but heartfelt, congratulations to Anna Crawford, who just defended her PhD thesis August 1 on Ice Island Deterioration! Well done Anna and all the best for the future!!!
