Canadian
Coast Guard
Ms. Sutton left North Carolina during August 2006 to join Geologic Survey scientists from Canada's Bedford Institute of Oceanography as they journeyed northward along the continental shelf and slope of Labrador. During the month of August, Ms. Sutton assisted a team of geophysicists as they conducted bottom surveys, core samples, and seismic studies of the seafloor in search of environmental hazards to offshore development. Follow Ms. Sutton's adventure from St. John's, Newfoundland to the 60th parallel and back to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Learn about the science and technology aboard the Canadian Coast Guard Vessel Hudson by following Ms. Sutton's journal entries and photos at the links below.
Funding for this adventure was provided by the National Science Foundation through the University of Rhode Island Graduate School of Oceanography and the ARMADA Project.
