Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5193. The research team will investigate the possibility of linking field-measured characteristics of tundra landscapes (e.g. active layer thickness, soil moisture, plant distribution and ecosystem composition, etc.) with remotely-sensed data. The overall objective of the project is to identify the connection that exist bet...

Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No.5247. The main objective is to develop a practical method for the mechanical and thermal design of embankments built on permafrost based on the properties of the active layer and of the permafrost as well as the loading conditions. The development of decision-making tools to select the optimal course and the optimal embankm...

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...

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...
