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...

Summary: The objective of the seabed mapping program is to conduct a regional survey of the Beaufort shelf. Ice scouring processes, benthic habitats, abandoned artificial islands, pingo-like features, gas seeps, seafloor foundation conditions, and subsea permafrost will be investigated. The Coast Guard vessel CCGS Nahidik will be used as the research platform to conduct offshore acoustic/sonar surveys ...

Principal Investigator: Koudys, Al
Licensed Year(s): 1994 1993
Summary: 1993 activities represent the first phase of a four-year project to collect water depth and gravity measurements as well as to determine a safe shipping route through the Coronation Gulf and Victoria Strait. Two helicopters will land at predetermined locations on the sea ice to take measurements. Another helicopter will collect water depth information using airborne electromagnetic techniques. ...

Principal Investigator: de Heering, Philippe
Licensed Year(s): 1984
Summary: To carry out phase I of a bathymetric survey system. A tower will be built on the ice and a rifle (460 cal Weaterby) mounted on it. The rifle will be discharged into the ice and measurements made to determine the amount of sound transmitted to the water, the level of bottom echo detected in air etc....
