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...

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...

Summary: The Circumpolar Flaw Lead (CFL) system study is designed to examine the importance of climate processes in changing the nature of a flaw lead system and the Arctic marine environment in the Northern Hemisphere, and the effect these changes will have on the marine ecosystem, contaminant transport, carbon fluxes, and greenhouse gases. Using the Canadian Research Icebreaker (CCGS Amundsen), the team ...
