Canada Basin Acoustic Propagation Experiment (CANAPE)
Funded by the Office of Naval Research, the Naval Postgraduate School teamed with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in a field experiment abord the USCGC Healy to deploy deep-water moorings in the Beaufort Sea.
With changes in the Arctic Ocean structure and ice cover, the Canada Basin Acoustic Propagation Experiment (CANAPE) deep water comoponent was designed to study the low frequency propagation and ambient noise in the seasonal conditions of open water, marginal ice zone / partial coverage, and complete ice coverage conditions throughout the one year study period.

Littoral Field Studies fieldwork (OC4210)
The focus of the Spring 2018 fieldwork for the Littoral Field Studies course (OC-4210) is along the Carmel Bay coast, with emphasis on the effects and extent of the Carmel River plume. Focused on the planning, execution, collection and analysis of oceanographic data, this course provides this course employs the scientific method for studying nearshore and wave processes using field observations in littoral battlespace environments.

Pine Island Glacier Oceanography Program
As part of the International Polar Year project "Ocean-Ice Interaction in the Amundsen Sea: the Keystone to Ice-Sheet Stability", the National Science Foundation's Office of Polar Programs has funded an investigation of the ocean circulation and ocean-ice interaction in the seawater-filled cavity below Antarctica's Pine Island Glacier. A sophisticated, profiling ocean sensor package is currently being developed to provide new observations of the role of the ocean in melting the underside of the glacier.

NPS Autonomous Ocean Flux Bouy Program
The Autonomous Ocean Flux Buoy program is being conducted to monitor and better understand the delicate balance between the upper ocean, sea ice cover, and incoming solar radiation that sustains the perenial ice cover in the Arctic Ocean. A highly specialized observation system has been developed underNational Science Foundation, Arctic Observing Network sponsorship to meet this goal. Explore the links on the left to learn more about the program.
