Documentary film Arctic Bloom :

The team is working on a documentary movie entitled ARCTIC BLOOM. This film will document the GREEN EDGE 2015 & 2016 ice camps near Qikiqtarjuaq, Nunuvut as well as the 2016 oceanographic campaign abord the CCGS Amundsen. In addition to presenting the work of the scientific team, the film will showcase the adventure of these missions and the integration of the research group in the Inuit community. We invite you to get a taste of the excitement by watching the trailer:

Ice camp blog 2015 and 2016:

The 2015 and 2016 Green Edge field campaigns were operated from an icecamp on landfast ice near Qikiqtarjuaq, Nunavut. The camp was set up in mid-March in 2015 or late-April in 2016, and snow, ice and water column processes were continuously monitored until ice melt in late June - early July.
