Multidisciplinary Arctic Program (MAP) - last ice : science plan, spring 2019 field campaign / by Christine Michel, Joannie Charette, Steve Duerksen, Benjamin Lange, and Pascal Tremblay.: Fs97-4/3182E-PDF

"The Last Ice Area (LIA) is the only Arctic region that is expected to retain summer sea ice until 2050. Due to the importance of this region, Fisheries and Oceans Canada has initiated the Multidisciplinary Arctic Program (MAP) – Last Ice Science Program, to characterize the ecosystem of the LIA. The MAP- Last Ice Science Program will develop a knowledge base of the connected sea ice-ocean system of the unique multiyear ice ecosystem north of Ellesmere Island. The second field campaign of the MAP-Last Ice Science Program takes place in spring 2019, followed by a marine mammal aerial survey in the fall of 2019. This report summarizes the science plan for this field campaign, detailing program elements for physical, chemical, and biological components in first-year and multi-year ice, and in the water column. This science plan serves as the basis for the planning of the second field expedition in the LIA, and will help inform the Tuvaijuittuq, a proposed marine protected area (MPA), and subsequent field campaigns"--Abstract, page v.
