Our Sponsors

Funding to deploy and recover the 3 PIESs in the Along-Shelf Study is from the National Science Foundation’s Division of Ocean Sciences and Division of Polar Programs through grant PLR-1332911 Novel Methods to Observe Heat and Ice in the High Latitudes Using PIES.

Funding to purchase the PIESs used in this research is from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

Magdalena Andres’ initial work to analyze the data from the Pilot Study was from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s Penzance and Cole/Selby Funds.

Funding to support field work in Sermilik Fjord has been provided by the Grayce B. Kerr Fund.
