In July, a group of WHOI scientists and engineers led by Fiamma Straneo and Sarah Das deployed a REMUS 100 “ICEBOT” in Saqqarliup fjord in Southwest Greenland. Their work was part of a unique study to measure water discharge from the nearby glacier and to investigate the highly variable conditions in the “red zone,” an area less than 1 kilometer from the calving front of the glacier caused by meltwater runoff into the fjord.(Photo by Amy Kukulya, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution)
