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...

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. Ultimately, the knowledge generated from this multi-year program will be integrated into regio...

Principal Investigator: Melling, Humfrey
Licensed Year(s): 2010
Summary: The objectives of this research project are: - To recover, service and re-deploy sub-sea moorings instruments for year-round measurement of ice thickness and ridging, storm waves, sea level, ocean current, temperature and salinity, mammal vocalization, ambient sound and plankton. - To complete ocean and seabed surveys near naturally occurring methane vents on the floor of the Beaufort Sea, usin...

Principal Investigator: Barber, David G.
Licensed Year(s): 2008 2007
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 ...
