Aligned with the strategic goals of both ArcticNet and the network of centres of excellence, BP executed a collaboration agreement in April 2010 with ArcticNet and Université Laval, which included the following scope of research activities: retrieval and redeployment of eight subsurface oceanographic moorings deployed in 2009 by ArcticNet to collect metocean and ice data; biological sampling at eight biophysical stations to determine baseline contaminant levels and biological productivity; deployment and retrieval of 12 bottom-anchored hydrophones used to detect and track vocalizations of whale species of concern; deployment of a remo ...[+++]tely-operated vehicle for a visual survey of the ocean floor; deployment and retrieval of a moored metocean surface buoy for the duration of the 2010 field program; ice thickness and roughness surveys, using the helicopter-mounted electromagnetic induction system; deployment of ice drift satellite beacons on large multi-year ice flows; collection of 42 piston core samples to determine physical soil characteristics; and ocean-bottom mapping.
