GreenEdge researcher Dr Annick Bricaud receives 2018 Jerlov Award
The Oceanography Society is pleased to announce that Dr. Annick Bricaud has been selected as the 2018 recipient of The Nils Gunnar Jerlov Award recognizing her contributions to the advancement of our knowledge of the nature and consequences of light in the ocean. Dr. Bricaud is recognized internationally for her groundbreaking contributions to ocean optics, which cover experimental and theoretical studies on seawater optical properties, fieldwork-based bio-optical relationships, and algorithms for deriving biogeochemical products from satellite ocean color.She is a senior research scientist at the Laboratoire d’Océanographie de Villefranche (LOV), CNRS – Sorbonne Université, Villefranche-sur-Mer, France, which she joined in 1976. Her 75 papers received the outstanding number of 11,400 citations, and many opened new avenues of research. Annick mentored numerous students, in France and worldwide, and has a long record of contribution to community service. She is among the first female researchers in optical oceanography.

The GreenEdge team bids farewell to Qikiqtarjuaq
After more than three months in the Hamlet of Qikiqtarjuaq, the last three members of the GreenEdge squeezed the last bit of equipment into the container that will be transported back to Québec City by Sealift and said goodbye to the community for another year. Between April 20 and July 27, more than 50 students and researchers from six French research institutions and three Canadian universities lived and worked in close harmony, studying the biogeochemistry, ecophysiology and physics of the Arctic Ocean as the ice receded and the seasons changed.

GreenEdge researchers finish a successful mission aboard the CCGS Amundsen
Between June 3 and July 14, 2016, CCGS Amundsen was dedicated to the GreenEdge project. Fifty-three students and scientists participated in the oceanographic mission in Baffin Bay. The campaign was coordinated by Flavienne Bruyart. GreenEdge's principal investigator, Marcel Babin, served as chief scientist for the first leg and Jean-Éric Tremblay took over for the second half of the mission. The Hamlet of Qikiqtarjuaq was inundated with GreenEdge researchers for the days preceeding and following the scientific crew change on June 23.
