2017-18 NPRB Biennial Report

16 Institutions contributing to conducting and/or funding the science

$1M Synthesis planned to begin in 2022, and new funding partners are welcome

In 2017 and 2018, Brendan Smith, NPRB Communications Director and professional photographer, participated in the summer Arctic IERP cruises aboard R/V Sikuliaq . In addition to oceanographic sampling, Brendan collected more than 2 terabytes of video and still photography—over 20,000 images. NPRB and the Arctic Program’s collaborators have used these images to illustrate science in-the-field, to document the scientific rigor needed to study a changing Arctic, and to help tell the overall story of the Arctic IERP. Not all images made the final cut, but above are some that have.
