Testimonials

“We have worked hard to demonstrate the critical importance of Arctic bathymetry, and particularly the bathymetry around Greenland to our understanding of the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet and its impact on global sea level rise.  Efforts in the GO-MARIE mission are important in helping us fill critical mapping gaps in these polar regions.  We also appreciate ORP’s keen willingness to send the data you collect to Seabed 2030; your mapping efforts have already contributed to the slowly building map of Arctic bathymetry.   I understand and support ORP’s desire to obtain a sonar capable of mapping in the deeper waters represented by many of the Arctic fjords so that you can maintain and enhance the Ocean Research Project's mission and very much hope to see this new capability come to fruition.”
