Arctic Expedition Aboard the CCGS Amundsen (2008)

10.26071/ogsl-8d0948fe-a655

This dataset contains the complete report, the expedition map as well as a list of stations and sampling types. The 2008 Expedition Report describes the scientific expedition carried out in the Canadian Arctic between September 04 and October 05, 2008. The report is a collection of all the participating research teams’ Cruise Reports provided to the Chief Scientists at the end of each Legs of the 2008 CCGS Amundsen Expedition. The 2008 Expedition Report is divided into two parts:

Part I provides an overview of the expedition, the cruise track and the stations visited, and a synopsis of operations conducted during each LEG.

Part II contains the reports submitted by participating science teams or researchers, with details on the specific objectives of their project, the field operations conducted and methodology used, and in some cases, preliminary results. When results are presented, they show the data as they were submitted at the end of the Legs in 2008. The data presented in this report are illustrative only and have not been quality checked, thus parties interested in the results should contact the project leader or the researchers who collected the data or the data coordinator at Amundsen Science (amundsen.data@as.ulaval.ca).

The 2008 Expedition Report includes four appendices: 1) the list of stations sampled, 2) the scientific log of activities conducted, 3) a copy of the CTD logbook and 4) the list of participants on board during each leg.

It is possible to consult an interactive map including all the years of expeditions and the different trajectories (LEG) associated with them.
