COVER
BIRNS Inc.’s (Oxnard, California) high-power motor-cable assembly supplies electricity to a hot-water drill used to bore holes for the IceCube Neutrino Observatory, a neutrino telescope being built in Antarctica. The project, planned to be completed in 2011, is deploying spherical optical sensors between 1,450 and 2,450 meters below the surface to detect light generated when subatomic neutrino particles collide with the ice.

Volume 51, No. 10

COVER
Sample Landsat satellite imagery, taken in August, shows the complex patterns formed as turbid, low-salinity outflow from the Mackenzie River enters the saline water of Mackenzie Bay in the Canadian Beaufort Sea. As part of an environmental assessment, ASL Environmental Sciences Inc. (Victoria, Canada) used Landsat imagery to identify the steepest plume frontal zones, the locations of which were relayed to a research vessel to guide a water sampling program. For more information on environmental monitoring via satellite, see page 15. (Landsat imagery courtesy of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and U.S. Geological Survey.)

UNDERSEA DEFENSE & ANTISUBMARINE WARFARE

COVER
The USS Independence (LCS 2) during builder’s trials last year. The U.S. Navy said in October that competition between Northrop Grumman Corp. (Los Angeles, California) and Lockheed Martin Corp. (Bethesda, Maryland) for the littoral combat ship (LCS) contract has brought down prices, prompting the Navy to seek congressional authorization to award each bidder a 10-ship block buy. If authorization is not given, the Navy said it would select a single bidder. (Photo courtesy of Dennis Griggs/General Dynamics)
