Sedimentation of organic material in Hudson Bay

Free-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 sinking material was analyzed for particulate inorganic carbon, particulate and dissolved organic carbon, biogenic and lithogenic silica and chlorophyll a concentrations. Phytoplankton abundance and composition, fecal pellet abundance and biovolume and bacterial abundances were also assessed for the sinking material. Water column samples, from depths between 10 and 150 m, were collected to quantify fecal pellets. Lastly, phytoplankton from the deep chlorophyll maximum depth was collected and their sinking velocity determined using settling columns.

Egg production data for the Arctic copepods Calanus glacialis/marshallae, C. hyperboreus and Metridia longa, CASES 2003-04

The time series was conducted from 20 October 2003 to early August 2004. Live samples for egg production experiments were collected in autumn and summer at different stations making the CASES sampling grid, and at one permanent station once the Amundsen settled in the landfast ice of Franklin Bay for the overwintering period. Females of all three species were present year round and reproduced successfully in the study region. Thirty randomly selected females of each species were placed individually in 45-ml petri dishes filled with filtered sea water and incubated at in situ temperature for 24 h in the dark. At the end of the experiment, eggs produced were counted. Gonad maturation was assessed on the females that did not spawn. The data set provides a time series of egg production rates (EPR), clutch size and gonad maturation index for the three dominant Arctic copepods.

Annual Monitoring of Invasive Alien Plant Species (IAPS) on the Territory of the *Comité ZIP du Sud-de-l'Estuaire* (ZIPSE)

Annual inventories (2015-2023) of invasive alien plant species, such as Japanese knotweed and common reed, on the territory of the Comité ZIPSE. The monitoring is funded by the *Ministère de l'Environnement, de la Lutte contre les changements climatiques, de la Faune et des Parcs* (MELCCFP) as part of the network for monitoring invasive exotic plants in wetlands. For this project, the territory of the ZIPSE Committee is divided into 3 zones. As one of these areas is inventoried every year, each zone is inventoried every 3 years (triennial follow-up). Starting with the 2017 report, we started using high-precision GPS (DGPS) to map IAPSs. From 2020 we also used a drone (DJI Mavic 2 Pro) in order to have aerial images of the inventory area when possible. This allowed us to better map certain areas where access on foot was difficult and to greatly improve the accuracy and detection of IAPSs.

Arctic Expedition Aboard the CCGS Amundsen (2024)

The 2024 Expedition Report is a collection of all the participating research teams’ cruise reports assembled by the Chief Scientists at the end of each LEG of the 2024 CCGS Amundsen Expedition. The 2024 expedition report is divided into three parts:

Part I gives an overview of the expedition and resulting data availability, presents the cruise track and the stations visited, and provides a synopsis of operations conducted during each
of the LEGs.

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, the 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 2024. The data presented in this report are
illustrative only and have not been quality checked or reviewed, thus parties interested in the results should contact the project leader, the researchers who collected the data or Amundsen
Science’s Data Coordinator (amundsen.data@as.ulaval.ca).

The sections in Part II provide a detailed description of each research program and the sampling teams on board. Specifically, Sections 1 and 2 discuss multidisciplinary programs that
involve various types of sampling techniques. Sections 3 to 37 provide comprehensive information on seabirds, atmospheric conditions, surface ocean properties, water column
characteristics, CTD-Rosette operations, physical properties, as well as a range of chemical and biological parameters. Sections 38 to 48 focus on seabed mapping, sediment and benthos,
while sections 49 to 51 delve into mooring operations. 

Finally, as short conclusion is presented in Part III. The four appendices provide information about the location, date, time and type of sampling performed at each station visited by the ship, as well as a list of science participants onboard during each LEG.

Four appendices are included, documenting visited stations and performed sampling as well as a list of science participants onboard during each LEG.

Organic Carbon characterization from Hudson Bay sediments, determined by Rock Eval Pyrolysis

Sediment from Hudson Bay was collected with boxcores deployed from the CCGS Amundsen. The boxcores were immediately sectioned at 1 cm (top 10 cm), 2 cm (10 cm to 20 cm depth), or 5 cm (depth > 20 cm) intervals, and aliquoted for a variety of analyses. Sediment samples were then frozen (-20 Celsius) while onboard for approximately 1 month, followed by freeze-drying at the Freshwater Institute, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Winnipeg, MB, Canada. Freeze-dried sediment was stored at room temperature in the dark. Rock Eval pyrolysis of freeze dried sediment samples was performed at the Geological Survey of Canada using a Rock Eval 6 pyrolysis.
