Matt Rutherford - founder of Ocean Research Project - first came to my attention as he approached Cape Horn. The first person to circumnavigate the Americas single-handed and non-stop. 309 days, 27,000 miles. His story is told in the delightful, even inspiring movie Red Dot on the Ocean.
Having shown himself a master mariner he formed ORP. Now a NASA grantee they have for the past few years been surveying the northernmost reaches of Greenland. They do CTD- current, temperature and depth measurements - key raw data NASA scientists need to understand the upwelling warming water that melts glaciers. The video below tells the story.
