    A crew member wearing a red survival suit and white hard hat kneels on the wet deck of a vessel, attending to a yellow underwater glider or autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) secured in a metal deployment cradle. Several other crew members in matching red survival suits stand nearby on what appears to be the stern deck of a research or coast guard vessel. The open ocean is visible in the background under clear skies.

    ARCTIC OCEAN – Joe Talbert watches as a sea glider is prepared to be deployed from the stern of the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Healy (WAGB-20) Thursday, Sept. 20, 2018, approximately 100 miles northwest of Barrow, Alaska, in the Chukchi Sea. Sea gliders are semi-autonomous submarines used to measure water conductivity, temperature, depth, oxygen and other measurements in the Arctic Ocean. Once deployed, the sea gliders are controlled by pilots in the Applied Physics Lab at the University of Washington in Seattle. Talbert is one of approximately 30 scientists aboard the Healy to study stratified ocean dynamics and how environmental factors affect the water below the ice surface for the Office of Naval Research. The Healy is one of two ice breakers in U.S. service and is the only military ship dedicated to conducting ice research in the Arctic.
