SUMMARY:Treading Ice: Gravity Data Collection in the Northwest Passage
DESCRIPTION:In August 2021\, National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency scien
 tists boarded the USCGC Healy\, a medium-sized ice breaker\, bound for a 
 scientific voyage through the Northwest Passage. The scientific mission o
 f this voyage will be discussed\, including new information about the str
 ucture of the Arctic Ocean seafloor crust obtained using gravity sensors 
 and how this data is being used to refine the models of the Earth that se
 rve as the basis of the WGS84 coordinate system that is used by GPS in nu
 merous services such as cellphones\, cars\, and planes.\n\n\nOur speaker 
 will be MSU alumna Alicia A. Metzger\, M.S. (2019) Geospatial Science/Geo
 logy\, B.S. (2012) Geology/Astronomy. Metzger is a geodetic earth scienti
 st in the Office of Geomatics at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Age
 ncy in St. Louis\, Missouri.
