Information to be Derived:

Summary of Activity and Data Gathered: 10 days in glacier bay, 3 days on the Karluk, 7 days on the Nunatak. A phantom ROV was deployed from the Nunatak, looking at glacial discharge streams and morainal banks of tidewater glaciers. The Klein side-scan sonar from the Karluk was used imaging gulleys and chutes on a pro-delta face in Queen Inlet and ice gouges on the moraine at the mouth of Muir Inlet.
