Jerome Rand interviews Matt Rutherford aboard the research vessel *Marie Tharp* while the boat is docked in a Greenland fjord.0:33 The discussion centers on the challenges of conducting scientific research in the Arctic, specifically the use of Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP) to measure water velocity near glacier faces. Rutherford details the technical difficulties of operating 600 kHz and 300 kHz sensors in icy, deep-water environments and notes the impact of significant funding cuts to National Science Foundation polar research programs.19:48 The conversation also covers the practicalities of long-distance solo sailing, including the limitations of fuel bladders, the performance differences between auxiliary rudder systems like the Hydrovane and servo-pendulum wind vanes, and the risks of cold-water immersion in high latitudes.49:10 Rand and Rutherford discuss their respective upcoming sailing schedules and the logistical pressures of balancing professional speaking engagements with vessel maintenance and expedition planning.
