Sedimentation of organic material in Hudson Bay
Amundsen ScienceFree-drifting, short-term particle interceptor traps were deployed from the CCGS Amundsen on eight occasions between 23 September and 16 October 2005. The traps were deployed at two or three depths below the euphotic zone (from 25 to 150 m) for 8 to 20 h. The…

Seasonal study of nutrients and organic matter in first-year sea ice on the Mackenzie shelf
Amundsen ScienceFirst-year sea ice was sampled on 36 occasions near the overwintering site of the CCGS Amundsen during the Canadian Arctic Shelf Exchange Study (CASES). Sea-ice and associated surface water samples were taken every 3 to 5 days between 24 February and 20 June…

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…
