Senior research specialist Rick Krishfield "talks" to the ITP to make sure it functions properly before leaving it frozen in the ice floe. Krishfield has long experience working in the Arctic and has placed ITPs there since 2004, working with scientist John Toole, who developed the ITP with WHOI engineers. Toole's goal is to install and maintain a fleet of ITPs in the Arctic, monitoring and relaying how the Arctic Ocean is changing with the region's warming conditions.
