The ICESCAPE mission (Impacts of Climate on Ecosystems and Chemistry of the Arctic Pacific Environment), is a NASA shipborne investigation to study how changing conditions in the Arctic affect the ocean’s chemistry and ecosystems. The bulk of the research took place in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas in summer 2010 and 2011.
