Curry is 'cocking the bottle' of a water sampler on the same line as a CTD current profiler, she will later send a 'messenger' (a sliding weight) down the line into the fjord, which will seal the water sampler at a given depth, capturing a water sample. Scientists on board the Greenpeace ship are studying Helheim glacier which displays alarming signs of increased melt and flow rate.Locations:Eastern Greenland-North America-Sermilik FjordDate:21 Aug, 2009Credit:© Nick Cobbing / GreenpeaceMaximum size:3456px X 5185pxKeywords:Climate (campaign title)-CTD water sampler-Day-Fjords-High angle view-KWCI (GPI)-Outdoors-Research-ScientistsShoot:Glaciology Research in Eastern GreenlandIn summer 2009, the MY Arctic Sunrise sails to the Arctic to document the dire effects climate change has on one of the most fragile environments in the world. Independent scientists use the ship, helicopter, boats and assistance of the crew, to collect data and research the impacts of climate change. During this second section of the three-part tour, scientists conduct important glaciology research in Eastern Greenland, on Helheim and Kangerdlugsuaq glaciers and their fjords. The team then transits north to work on the Nioghalvfjerdsfjorde Glacier (known as '79 Glacier.')
