“The Northwest Passage Project (NPP) will explore the changing Arctic during an innovative expedition that will engage diverse audiences through real time interactions from sea, an ultra-high definition 2-hour documentary, and related community events.  Sailing the first full-rigged sailing ship into the Northwest Passage of the Canadian Arctic in over a century will provide a visually stunning and historically poignant platform from which diverse audiences  will  experience  a  dramatically changing Arctic.” – Dr. Gail Scowcroft, URI

Dr. Donglai Gong will be a scientist and educator aboard the SSV Oliver Hazard Perry as she sails through the Northwest Passage in summer 2017.
