Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5937. Arctic Change: The project supervised by UNIGE, Geneva University and conducted onboard by Marion Cherrak, Science Lead at Pacifique, will continuously monitor environmental data: greenhouse gasses (carbon dioxide and methane) and standard oceanographic parameters in surface water/water column and the polar atmosphe...

Principal Investigator: Tank, Suzanne E
Licensed Year(s): 2024 2023 2022 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5953. The objective of this research is to understand how permafrost slumping increases the mobilization of carbon, nutrients, and toxins (mercury) from land to water, and the effects of this transport on stream ecosystems and the global carbon cycle. Over the next several years, the plan is to measure stream chemistry at ...
