Licensed Year(s): 2024
Summary: This licence has been issued for the scientific research application No. 5939. Research questions seek to understand the impacts of global change on the physical and geochemical environment of the Beaufort Gyre (BG) Region in the Canada Basin of the Arctic Ocean and the corresponding biological response. We thus collect data annually so that we can link decadal-scale perturbations in the Arctic...
