Thanks to Capt. Chris Allinson and crew of the R/V Miss Leona, Shackleton the autonomous glider survived a harrowing Bering Sea deployment. The CFOS glider was taking on seawater and losing its internal pressure vacuum before it rendezvoused with Miss Leona on June 28.

A great start for our new colleagues @KayMcmonigal, @doh_not_dough, and Steve Dykstra. We're excited to welcome you to @uafairbanks @UAFcfos!
New CFOS faculty Kay McMonigal and Steve Dykstra and research affiliate Shannon Doherty celebrated in Nome following the Arctic Chief Scientist Training cruise aboard R/V Sikuliaq. The cruise offered scientific sampling opportunities for early career oceanographers. #NanookNation

Such a fantastic opportunity! 👏👏
🧵#NSFfunded researchers are aboard the R/V @sikuliaq for a special 7-day transit of the Alaskan waters. In addition to collecting critical oceanographic data, the cruise is being used as an opportunity to train a new generation of oceanographers. 📷: @JrPikok

RIP Steve Okkonen, a valued colleague with a one-of-a-kind energy. Your friendship, wit, advice, generosity, and intelligence will be missed. The jokingly self-titled "UA Kasilof campus Fighting Barnacle's Chancellor and Janitor" has left quite a legacy. https://t.co/pSp8d0OHMr

December evokes images of snow and winter, so it's appropriate that the Dec issue of Oceanography is on the Arctic Ocean! Enjoy our contribution 'Monitoring Alaskan Arctic Shelf Ecosystems Through Collaborative Observation Networks' as well as great articles by our collaborators.

We were there! Be home soon! #FieldworkFriday
On September 30, 2022, the USCGC Healy, her crew, and a team of NSF-funded scientists reached the North Pole for the third time in the ship’s career. A significant accomplishment for US science. For more information read https://t.co/1OPIvaLoL6

We’ve had a SUPER busy summer of field work, and the fun continues! With @NSF funding Pete, Seth, and Savannah spent their weekend taking oceanographic samples at the North Pole as part of the Synoptic Arctic Survey: https://t.co/aUf1cWyQGk Yes, the actual, geographic North Pole!

With support from @AlaskaNPS, this week we've been busy sampling alongside @DrJennQuestel in Disenchantment Bay. Never alone out here with all of the cruise ships!
