Sarah had a short opportunity to personally check in with her graduate student, Maya Bhatia, who is working at a camp on the coast. Maya (center) and two other scientists, Matt Evans (right) and Alison Criscitiello, have been motoring out into the fjord every four hours (weather permitting) to monitor for Sarah's dye. Though scientists had hoped that the dye would reach the coast by now, several days after pouring it into a moulin 40 kilometers to the east, Maya has not seen any signals that it has flowed into coastal waters. Maya assured Sarah that she plans to continue checking through Saturday.
Image of The Day caption:
In starkly beautiful surroundings, MIT-WHOI joint program students Maya Bhatia (center) and Alison Criscitiello (left), along with Matthew Evans (a scientist at Wheaton College) camped on the Greenland coast for two weeks in summer 2008. Motoring out into the fjord very four hours (weather permitting) the three monitored the water for signs of red dye. On an expedition led by WHOI glaciologist Sarah Das, scientists poured the harmless dye into a crack atop the Greenland ice sheet, hoping to determine the routing of water beneath the ice to the coast.
