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...

Principal Investigator: Williams, Bill
Licensed Year(s): 2021
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5042. The objective is continued annual collection of relevant data on aspects of the Beaufort shelf marine ecosystem. The activity in the Beaufort region is a brief mission at sea in the autumn of each year to recover and replace the observing system that acquires these data. The activities at home-base are mobilization fo...

Principal Investigator: Melling, Humfrey
Licensed Year(s): 2017 2016
Summary: The strategic objective of this expedition is continued long-term monitoring of Canadian Beaufort Sea. The specific objectives are: 1) to recover, service and re-deploy oceanographic moorings carrying instruments that measure ice thickness and ridging, storm waves, sea level, ocean current, temperature and salinity, mammal vocalization, underwater sound and plankton; and, 2)to complete oceanogr...

Principal Investigator: Levesque, Keith R
Licensed Year(s): 2017 2016
Summary: The central aim of the ArcticNet marine-based research program is to study on a long-term basis how climate induced changes are impacting the marine ecosystem, contaminant transport, biogeochemical fluxes, and exchange processes across the ocean-sea ice-atmosphere interface in the Canadian Arctic Ocean. The knowledge generated from this multi- year program is integrated into regional impact studie...
