R/V Sikuliaq
The 261-foot R/V Sikuliaq is one of the most advanced university research vessels in the world, capable of breaking ice up to 2.5 feet thick.
Pronounced [see-KOO-lee-auk], the vessel is owned by the National Science Foundation and operated by the College of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, as part of the U.S. academic research fleet.
Coastal Endurance Array
Located in the Northeast Pacific Ocean off the coasts of Oregon and Washington, the Coastal Endurance Array is part of a regional observatory network that includes OOI, Station Papa, and Ocean Networks Canada. Measurements taken by this network collectively capture variability of ocean properties across a broad range of temporal and spatial scales. They allow examination of ocean health issues, including hypoxia, ocean acidification, and harmful algal blooms.
CTD Rosettes
An activity that happens on every Coastal Endurance cruise are CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth) casts. CTDs are used to collect water samples at the…
