With over two thirds of Canada\u2019s coastline being located in the North and the fact that near shore waters represent some of the most productive Arctic regions, there is a need to improve our understanding of marine ecosystem processes in the sensitive Arctic coastal zone. The marine region around Southampton Island, northwest Hudson Bay (Nunavut), encompasses one of Canada\u2019s largest summer and winter aggregations of Arctic marine mammals, providing multiple ecosystem services. This biological hotspot has supported local human habitation for millennia with confirmed Dorset, Thule, and Sadlermiut occupation sites. The region has also been a marine mammal management focus of Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) for decades and supports two sea bird sanctuaries, yet we know surprisingly little of the region\u2019s oceanography, productivity or biological community below these top trophic levels. This fact highlights a major management risk, severely limiting our ability to understand and predict changes to this unique and productive marine ecosystem. Adding complexity to this risk are pressures posed by the ongoing climate changes and an increasing industrial presence. Therefore, we undertook an oceanographic study called the Southampton Island Marine Ecosystem Project (SIMEP), funded by the MEOPAR Network of Centres of Excellence (NCE), Canada Foundation for Innovation through the Churchill Marine Observatory (CMO), Research Manitoba, Natural Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) ship time, BiodivERsA Belmont Forum, and individual research grants, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), and individual and international research grants from participants from USA, UK, and Norway.\r\n\r\nThe SIMEP network assumed a bottom up driven ecosystem, hypothesizing that the hotspot can be explained by:\r\n\r\n- Winter pre-conditioning of surface waters associated with large polynyas that form along the western coasts of Foxe Basin and Hudson Bay. Also known as ice factories, these polynyas produce dense salty brine that can sink, ventilating deeper waters while associated mixing replenishes surface nutrients and therefore, primary production.\r\n\r\n- Tidal and wind-driven mixing along shallow near shore as well as shoaled and constricted waterways of Rose Welcome Sound, Frozen Strait and Fisher Strait. Some of the world\u2019s largest tides are observed in Hudson Bay and as they move water back and forth across these areas, currents and mixing intensify, increasing water mass exchange and thus nutrient supply and advective flux in the area.\r\n\r\n- East and north of Southampton Island, water masses originating in Atlantic (via Hudson Strait) and Pacific (via Foxe Basin) oceans are mixed and modified, and greatly influence production as large inventories of new nutrients are imported to the region.\r\n\r\nTo test these hypotheses, we assembled a network of University and government scientists seeking to obtain a food web-based understanding of the ecosystem.", "num_resources": 0, "num_tags": 2, "organization": {"id": "9e21f6b6-d13f-4ba2-a379-fd962f507071", "name": "ceos", "title": "Centre for Earth Observation Science", "type": "organization", "description": "The Centre for Earth Observation Science (CEOS) was established in 1994 with a mandate to research, preserve and communicate knowledge of Earth system processes using the technologies of Earth Observation Science. Research is multidisciplinary and collaborative seeking to understand the complex interrelationships between elements of Earth systems, and how these systems will likely respond to climate change. Although researchers have worked in many regions, the Arctic marine system has always been a unifying focus of activity.\r\n\r\nIn 2012, CEOS, along with the Greenland Climate Research Centre (GCRC, Nuuk, Greenland) and the Arctic Research Centre (ARC, Aarhus, Denmark) established the Arctic Science Partnership, thereby integrating academic and research initiatives.\r\n\r\nAreas of existing research activity are divided among key themes:\r\n\r\nArctic Anthropology/Paleoclimatology: LiDAR scanning and digital site preservation, archaeo-geophysics, permafrost degredation, lithic morphometrics, zooarchaeology, proxy studies, paleodistribution of sea ice, landscape learning, Paleo-Eskimo culture, Thule Inuit culture, ethnographic analogy, traditional knowledge, climate change and northern heritage resource management.\r\n\r\nAtmospheric Studies/Meteorology: Boundary layer, precipitation, clouds, storms and extreme weather, circulation, eddy correlations, polar vortex, climate, teleconnections, geophysical fluid dynamics, flux and energy budgets, ocean-sea ice-atmosphere interface, radiative transfer, ice albedo feedback, cloud radiative forcing, pCO2. \r\n\r\nBiogeochemistry: Organic carbon, greenhouse gases, bubbles, Ikaite, carbonate chemistry, CO2 fluxes, mercury and other trace metals, minerals, hydrocarbons, brine processes, otolith microchemistry, sediments, biomarkers. \r\n\r\nContaminants: Mercury, trace metals, PAHs, source, transport, transformation, pathways, bioaccumulations, marine ecosystems, marine chemistry. \r\nEarth Observation Science: Active and passive microwave, LiDAR, EM induction, spatial-temporal analysis, forward and inverse scattering models, complex permittivity, ocean colour, ocean surface roughness, NIR, TIR, satellite telemetry, GPS.
