My flight home was stupendous as the skies were clear and the flight path flew over spectacular landscapes. Window seats on flights are essential. ###GLOBE Observer Report Out I collected numerous [Clouds and Land Cover GLOBE Observer observations](https://www.globe.gov/web/wild-rose-education

Our time here went by so fast! We accomplished what we could to deploy buoys in spite of shifting sea ice, open leads, and only a few whaling trails completed (access to fast ice). I wanted to be fully present in this place, be part of the landscape, absorb as much as I could. And, I did; alongside

Today was a day of cleaning gear (washing off the salty sea water residue), packing science equipment for the cargo shipment tomorrow, and touring the tundra near the Navy Arctic Research Station. I found the remains of the Air Force Arctic Survival School (i.e. snow forts and igloos). ###Engage

We Have an Artist on Our Team In addition to an oceanographer, climatologist, data scientist, and outreach educator, we are lucky to have an artist as a Co-PI (primary investigator) on our team. Cy Keener is an interdisciplinary artist who uses environmental sensing and

Today was incredible... one of THE most amazing days of flying in my life. Our team partnered with the North Slope Borough Search and Rescue to fly nearly 100 miles northeast of Point Barrow to deploy the buoys. The buoys immediately started measuring weather and sea ice current observations. Here

Obsessed With Maps Our team spends significant time studying the most current satellite imagery available every day. Imagery comes from the US National Ice Center*, Sentinel, Landsat, IBCAO, RADARSAT*, and is made available to view in various file types that we can open in ArcGIS and Google Earth

The Gang's All Here Our IABP AK Spring 22 Deployment Expedition team is finally all here. ##Collecting Citizen Science Data with NASA GLOBE Observer We have been collecting NASA GLOBE Observer clouds and landcover data. We've seen the observations many of you have been making on [our team map]
