Equipment Used: Digital camera, SeaBOSS, GPS (wh), Niskin bottle, Gravity corer, YSI Sound velocity CTD (wh)
Information to be Derived:
Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: Three excellent cores were collected in a gradient from anoxic to oxic conditions in the bottom water. Water samples were collected at each of the three locations. Ice thickness was greater than 5 inches. Safety equipment included buoyant surfboard, life jackets, ice claws, ice anchors, rope, and a toboggan to distribute weight near an open hole.
