Welcome back to the Trident Room Podcast. I'm LCDR Colleen Wilmington. If you’re a returning listener, you may recognize me from METOC Me-talks, if you’re new welcome to 51¸£Àû! Today we're introducing a new series, the Academic Arsenal, focusing on the theses and dissertations being completed here at 51¸£Àû for DOD applications.
The 51¸£Àû Oceanography Department team, composed of professors from the Ocean Acoustics Lab and students from METOC/USW program participated in Operation Ice Camp Whale to collect data to understand the physics of acoustic propagation under, through and above the sea ice. Their research intends to lay the scientific foundation for sea ice property inference and future multimedia Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities.
The Operation Ice Camp (formerly Ice Exercise) 2024 team are:
- Dr. Ben Reeder, Research Professor, CDR (Ret)
- John Joseph, Research Associate, CDR (Ret)
- Taylor Hudson, Student, LCDR
- Colleen Wilmington, Student, LCDR
