Snow and Ice Physical Properties
Amundsen ScienceGeneral description: Ice types from new ice up to thick first-year sea ice (FYI) were encountered, with one case of multiyear ice (MYI) examined. Methology: The sampling can be divided into "Transect Mode" and "Drift Mode." For the transect mode, we accessed…

ArcticNet/IOL - Industry Marine Observatories (moorings) in the Beaufort Sea (2009-2011)
Amundsen ScienceFrom 2009 to 2011, eight moorings equipped with state-of-the-art instruments were maintained in the industry exploration acreages EL446, EL449 and EL451 to collect year-round records of currents, temperature, salinity, turbidity, nutrients, dissolved oxygen,…

High-resolution survey of marine dimethylsulfide (DMS) in contrasted marine environments of the Canadian Arctic during the 2016 oceanographic ArcticNet/NETCARE campaign
Amundsen ScienceThe Arctic Ocean in summer is thought to be a nexus of biogenic dimethylsulfide (DMS) production associated, in part, with diversified niches within or bordering dynamic sea-ice where DMS-rich microbial communities may thrive. However, critical uncertainties…

Trace element concentrations in the water column of the Canadian Arctic Ocean measured from the CCGS Amundsen in 2009, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2024
Amundsen ScienceTrace metals in the ocean, including iron (Fe), manganese (Mn), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and vanadium (V), may act as micronutrients or toxins to marine phytoplankton and thereby directly impact primary…
