Through lectures and demonstrations, we learned about powerful tools that harness imagery, artificial intelligence and even satellites (yeah!) to count and classify living and non-living particles in the Arctic Ocean. Very impressive stuff! We were also introduced to robot-like autonomous platforms that are used to reach deeper regions and monitor all kinds of phenomenons in Arctic waters.<\/p>\n<p>What is even more interesting is that we were shown some of the actual so-called \u201ctoys\u201d. An ARGO float was shown and described in detail. An ARGO float consists on an automated buoy that wanders the ocean while acquiring meaningful data such as solar light, water salinity and temperature. We can\u2019t wait to be actually testing these technologies in the field in the coming days, what an opportunity!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sentinellenord.ulaval.ca\/sites\/default\/files\/inline-images\/argo%20float.jpg\" alt=\"ARGO Float - Sentinel North international phd school\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Claudie and Jos\u00e9 describing the ARGO float<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>During the lunch break, some of the crew watched the World Cup final \u2013 three words: Vive la France!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sentinellenord.ulaval.ca\/sites\/default\/files\/inline-images\/soccer_final_cup_ML.JPG\" alt=\"World cup final - Sentinel North international phd school\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Ship crew and scientists alike intensely watching the World Cup final<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Following the familiarization tour of the ship the previous day, we had a practical exercise during the afternoon. By no means was it stressful, but the thought of being stranded in the Arctic Ocean was not quite a comfortable one. The exercise started with an alarm that brought us on deck and had everyone cramped into a lifeboat like sardines in a tin (luckily, it did not smell like one).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sentinellenord.ulaval.ca\/sites\/default\/files\/inline-images\/emergency_exercices_ML.JPG\" alt=\"Emergency exercise - Sentinel North international phd school\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Ready to turn into human sardines<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Prior to the emergency exercise, we crossed the 66\u00ad\u00b0 parallel, which meant we had entered the Arctic Circle (the goal of the School). Following the crossing, an Arctic initiation followed and we started preparing for our field campaigns with much excitement! We then spent the evening watching a film about the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.greenedgeproject.info\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Green Edge project<\/a>, which fueled the idea behind this Sentinel North PhD summer school \u2013 it was really insightful.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sentinellenord.ulaval.ca\/sites\/default\/files\/inline-images\/evening_sun_ML.JPG\" alt=\"View of the Arctic Ocean from the Amundsen - Sentinel North international phd school\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>The view isn&#8217;t that bad, is it?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>(photos by Marion Lebrun)<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>DAY 3 &#8211; BREAKING ICE AND MEETING POLAR BEARS<\/h2>\n<p><strong>July 14 &#8211; by Marie-France G\u00e9vry, Sentinel North training coordinator<\/strong><br \/>\nWe went to bed last night as the ship was being caressed by gentle arctic waves. But when we woke up, the abrupt collisions were telling us that we had reached sea ice. Keeping a firm hand on the safety handle while taking our shower had become a necessity!<\/p>\n<p>We started the day with a first group of elevator-pitch student presentations that allowed us to get to know more about each other&#8217;s current research projects. Then, lectures about marine optics (AOP, IOP) and sea ice physics were given by Emmanuel Boss and Christian Katlein. The highlight of the day was certainly when the wheelhouse announced there was a family of polar bears on the ice, near the ship! We all ran on the deck with our cameras and enjoyed the sight of a female bear jumping from ice block to ice block with her two cubs. Being so close to them right in their natural habitat made us realise the privilege we have.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sentinellenord.ulaval.ca\/sites\/default\/files\/inline-images\/Ours_Luca%20%281%29.jpg\" alt=\"Sentinel North international phd school\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Well, hello you! (photo: Luca Arduini Plaisant)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the afternoon, we had a familiarization tour of the ship with the coast guard staff, essentially to present us with safety procedures in the case of an emergency. Among other things, we saw the emergency boat that can fit up to 50 people in the case of an evacuation (which we sure hope won&#8217;t happen!). We also had lectures about ice optics and DMS and regulation services of the ocean by Chrsitian Katlein and Martine Lizotte.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sentinellenord.ulaval.ca\/sites\/default\/files\/inline-images\/IMG_0963.jpg\" alt=\"Sentinel North international phd school\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>50 people can fit in that emergency boat!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the evening, chief scientist Marcel Babin showed the most recent local ice maps\u00a0and explained that the abundance of ice in the Frobisher Bay hindered our progress, and delayed the estimated arrival time to our first research station.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sentinellenord.ulaval.ca\/sites\/default\/files\/inline-images\/IMG_0956.jpg\" alt=\"Sentinel North international phd school\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Sea ice is forcing us to review our schedule<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We then had a very interesting discussion about the main theme of the School, Arctic marine ecosystem services, which can be either provisioning, regulating, cultural or supporting services. Among other things, we\u2019ve been able to appreciate the importance of the scale (both time and space) and how everything is interconnected. We debated one key question: should we put a monetary value on Arctic marine ecosystem services? Is it dangerous to associate money with ecosystem services? We realised how complex and tricky this issue, as very often we don\u2019t have enough information to establish the value of a species or an ecosystem. Finally, we agreed on the importance of having a more holistic view of ecosystem services.<\/p>\n<p>Our third day ended with a beautiful sundip, as daylight fades out very fast on the Arctic horizon.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sentinellenord.ulaval.ca\/sites\/default\/files\/inline-images\/IMG_0960.jpg\" alt=\"Sentinel North international phd school\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>DAY 2 &#8211; BOARDING THE AMUNDSEN<\/h2>\n<p><strong>July 13 &#8211; by Marie-France G\u00e9vry, Sentinel North training coordinator<\/strong><br \/>\nToday, we all woke up knowing it was going to be a special day, and indeed it was! The excitement was palpable, as it was going to be a &#8220;first time&#8221; for many of us : first time on a helicopter, first time wearing an immersion suit, first time on an icebreaker ship, and so forth.<\/p>\n<p>The day started smoothly with a series of lectures in Iqaluit. We were first introduced to Arctic biodiversity by Lee Karp-Boss, trying to answer key questions such as &#8220;Why should we care about biodiversity?&#8221;, &#8220;Why some regions have more biodiversity than others?&#8221;, &#8220;What are the Arctic environment distinctive traits?&#8221; and &#8220;How to know if we sample enough to define the biodiversity of the Arctic ocean?&#8221;. Very instructive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sentinellenord.ulaval.ca\/sites\/default\/files\/inline-images\/IMG_0896.jpg\" alt=\"Sentinel North international phd school\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Lee Karp-Boss, Jean-Eric Tremblay and Vicki Sahanatien shared their expertise in Arctic biodiversity and wildlife<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Next, invited speaker Vicki Sahanatien introduced us to the Arctic wildlife and presented the diversity of sea ice habitats and the impacts of their variation in the\u00a0context of a changing Arctic. Jean-\u00c9ric Tremblay, already in the field from the previous Leg (2a) of the Amundsen, joined us on the land to talk about the primary production and nutrients of the Arctic Ocean, and how important they are for the whole food chain. Many of the concepts used to describe the biodiversity and primary production were new for many of us with a physics\/engineering background, but everyone was up to the task!<\/p>\n<p>Then the big moment came. We donned the immersion survival suits, somehow feeling like astronauts before take-off! The 5-min helicopter ride to the Amundsen was smooth and offered a scenic view of Frobisher Bay. Finally on board, every participant and mentor took the pace of the ship and\u00a0began discovered\u00a0what was going to be their home for the next 12 days.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/sentinellenord.ulaval.ca\/sites\/default\/files\/inline-images\/IMG_0924.jpg\" alt=\"Sentinel North international phd school\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>For most of us, donning immersion suits was a first<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The serious stuff continued as we learned the basic concepts of physical oceanography and optics, by Achim Randelhoff and Emmanuel Boss.
