Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5246. The main goal of the project is to understand which mechanisms are controlling soil nutrient cycling and soil-plant interactions across both permafrost thaw gradients and vegetation types. The research team are mainly interested in nutrient cycling processes and priming, as well as how microbial community composition ...

Principal Investigator: Pickart, Robert S.
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5231. The main objective is to characterize the western Arctic Boundary current, which flows at the edge of the shelf, in order to understand its role in dictating shelf-basin exchange of water and materials and how it impacts the ecosystem of the region, including the occurrence of marine mammals. This project is a coll...

Principal Investigator: KITAMURA (ITOH), Motoyo
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5177. The objective of this program is to monitor on-going Arctic changes, which are related to the recent global warming. Sea water measurements and plankton sampling are important to know oceanic ecosystem health because plankton are food for fish, seabirds and marine mammals. Microplastic pollution sampling and ocean wav...

Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5135. The goals of the project are: a) Describing the current population and distribution of the hairy braya, and any changes since 2011. b) Documenting threats and habitat condition, and any changes since 2011. c) Investigating areas that may be good habitat for the plant but were not surveyed in 2011, to improve informati...

Principal Investigator: Grünberg, Inge
Licensed Year(s): 2022
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5196. The goal for this expedition is to collect ground-truth data for two prior airborne campaigns conducted in 2018 and 2019. The data obtained from radar remote sensing of the area around Trail Valley Creek represent a complex signal from the vegetation, active layer, and permafrost. Based on prior field expeditions, the...
