BaySys (Hudson Bay System) Study - Fall Campaign - CCGS Des Groseilliers
The 2016 Fall campaign will be focussed on deploying moorings in Churchill and Nelson River Estuary, and the James Bay region, using the CCGS Des Groseilliers. The 2016 mooring field program will take place in southern Hudson Bay from September 26 (Churchill) to October 4 (Kujjaurapik). Opportunistic sampling will continue from October 5 to October 12 in northern Hudson Bay. During the main eight-day cruise, members of all five multi-disciplinary teams will collect CTD profiles, water and sediment samples. Oceanographic moorings will be deployed along the full length of the southern coast of Hudson Bay. The focus of this field program is on the Nelson Estuary region and James Bay mouth, which are the major sources of riverine fresh water to the Hudson Bay system.
