Cryoacoustics Researchers Give Critical Edge to Icy Arctic Naval Operations

MONTEREY, Calif. – U.S. Navy Lt. Caroline Kelly, an officer-scholar studying meteorology and oceanography (METOC) at the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), returned from the Arctic this past February where she conducted cryoacoustics research supporting her NPS thesis. With the U.S. Navy facing immediate challenges due to increasing adversary activities in the harsh, inaccessible Arctic, Kelly’s research aims to help improve naval operations in this critical environment.

Caroline Kelly, and Benjamin Reeder (left to right) conducted cryoacoustics experiments on sea ice floating in the Arctic Ocean to improve current and future U.S. naval operations in this growingly contested environment.
