Total and methylated mercury data in Canadian Arctic Seawater (2013-2015)
Amundsen ScienceTo obtain the data, water samples of vertical profiles were firstly collected from the Rosette onboard the CCGS Amundsen, and then analyzed with instruments both onboard and in the lab in University of Manitoba. The total mercury were measured on a Tekran 2600…

Pesticides in the Canadian Archipelago: 1. St. Lawrence River and Labrador Sea
Amundsen ScienceContinuous air samples were collected on Leg 1 of the CCGS Amundsen cruise in 2007 using a high volume air sampler that drew air through a glass fibre filter followed by two polyurethane foam plugs. Water samples were collected by filter water through a glass…

Multimedia contaminant survey during the Amundsen 2005
Amundsen ScienceMonitoring survey has been achieved during the Amundsen 2005 cruise through continuous measurement of total gaseous mercury (TGM), speciated Hg species (Hg°, RGM and PM), ozone and other gases (CO, CO2 and CH4), and media sampling of pesticides.

Investigating the Sources, Abundance and Types of Microplastics in the Arctic, 2018
Amundsen ScienceMicroplastics pollution has been found across the globe, but with limited information from the polar regions. Although there is evidence of microplastics in the Arctic and Antarctic, little is understood about the sources, fate and extent of contamination. We…

Hydrocarbon concentrations in Baffin Bay sediments and benthic invertebrates (NGMP ID EC13)
Amundsen ScienceSample collections were made aboard the CCGS Amundsen during the ArcticNet field campaigns in August 2013 (Leg 1), July, August and October 2014 (Leg 1 & 3) and October 2015 (Leg 4). Sediment samples retrieved from box cores were sliced into 0.5 cm increments…

Zooplankton and Algae Mercury Data in Amundsen Gulf, 2008
Amundsen ScienceSampling took place on legs 6, 7, 8b, and 9 of the CFL project on the CCGS Amundsen (2008). Zooplankton were sampled with a 1x1m2 (200 µm mesh) net through the moon-pool and with a 1m diameter (200 µm mesh) ring net on the ice at ice covered stations. In open…

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…
