Projects

An important component of our Summer School will be the participation in and presentation of a small research project under the supervision of our instructors and/or expedition scientists. We have constructed a list of appropriate projects. Where possible, the projects will be associated with the field survey, although several instructors have identified projects based on historical data or investigations of general processes. Students may work individually or in small groups on projects from the list, or on projects of their own choosing, assuming that an expedition scientist or instructor endorses the project. Note that we wish to limit the total number of projects to twelve. The timeline for the completion and presentation of the projects is indicated in the agenda.

V. Alexeev (meteorology)

1) Cyclone identification and tracking in NCEP reanalysis
2) anti-Cyclone identification and tracking in NCEP reanalysis

R. Barry (ice climatology)

3) Analysis of biweekly NSIDC ice charts and comparison to field conditions

H. Simmons (physical oceanography)

4) Gravity wave numerical idealized experiments
5) Turbulence spectra calculation and interpretation

B. Tremblay (climatology and ice)

6) Analysis of snap shots of LEADEX infrared imagery over leads and sea ice to learn about leads and ice regrowth in leads
7) Net radiometer data exploration
8) T-S measurements in the upper ocean

J. Deming (ecosystems, microbiology)

9) Selective cultivation of marine bacteria as a function of sample type and incubation temperature
10) Measurements of extracellular enzyme activities in seawater (or sea ice) samples

K. Cochran (geo-chemistry)

11) Thorium-234 as a tracer for particulate organic carbon export in the euphotic zone

L. Fortier (carbon fluxes, biology)

12) The spatial distribution of Arctic cod larvae in relation to sea-ice cover and SST
13) Interannual differences in the relative abundance of major calanoid copepods based on data from 2003 and 2004 measurements obtained during our 2005 field program

D. Barber (sea ice geophysics, remote sensing)

14) Snow and sea ice geophysics
15) Passive microwave emission from the marine cryosphere
16) Spectral optical properties of the marine cryosphere

P. Minnett (meteorology, physical oceanography)

17) Analysis of real-time ship-board methodological data to determine the surface heat budget
