The CBG\u2019s Dr. Jeremy deWaard<\/strong> and Ph.D. student Danielle (Dani) Nowosad<\/strong> visited Cambridge Bay and Kugluktuk, Nunavut, this April to prepare for Arctic BIOSCAN<\/a>\u2019s 2022 field season and meet with several key partners of the community-based Arctic biomonitoring project.<\/p>\n DeWaard and Nowosad met with important community partners at the Ekaluktuttiak Hunters and Trappers Organization (HTO)<\/strong> and the Kugluktuk Angoniatit Association<\/strong> where they exchanged project results and discussed priorities and plans for Arctic BIOSCAN.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.2″ text_font=”||||||||” custom_padding=”0px||41px|||” text_font_size_tablet=”” text_font_size_phone=”16px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u00a0“Throughout Arctic BIOSCAN\u2019s first four years, we\u2019ve maintained a steady dialogue with our many partners,” said deWaard, Associate Director of Collections and Arctic BIOSCAN\u2019s Project Manager at the Centre for Biodiversity Genomics (CBG)<\/a>. “This has been challenging through the pandemic, so we were thrilled to meet in person again and receive valuable input and guidance over a cup of tea.”<\/p>\n They also met with Arctic BIOSCAN team members Carter Lear<\/strong> and Liam Mulgrew<\/strong>, two of six Nunavummiut youth that will be hired across five Kitikmeot communities to work as field technicians this summer. Supported by new funding from the SOI Foundation<\/a>, the youths will play an integral role in Arctic BIOSCAN\u2019s research activities.<\/p>\n Past and current research activities would be impossible without the science support provided by partners in Cambridge Bay and across the Kitikmeot Region. Elise Imbeau<\/strong> and Gabriel Ferland (Viventem)<\/strong> supported the research in 2021 when travel restrictions prohibited CBG researchers from conducting fieldwork. Similarly, colleagues at the Canadian High Arctic Research Station (CHARS)<\/strong><\/a>, such as Laboratory Manager Martin L\u00e9ger<\/strong>, have been pivotal in providing access to the resources and infrastructure necessary to complete such an ambitious project. DeWaard and Nowosad were delighted to work out details for the 2022 field season with Imbeau, Ferland, L\u00e9ger, and others \u2013 not over Zoom, but within the impressive CHARS facility.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ibol.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/GOPR0159.jpg” alt=”Arctic field work in Nunavut, 2021″ title_text=”Arctic field work in Nunavut, 2021″ _builder_version=”4.17.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Aquatic sampling in the 2021 field season.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.2″ custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/ibol.org\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Copy-of-IMG_2594.jpg” title_text=”Copy of IMG_2594″ _builder_version=”4.17.2″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.2″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n DeWaard and Nowosad lastly met with Dr. David Hik<\/strong>, Chief Scientist at POLAR Knowledge Canada<\/a> and based at CHARS, to discuss Arctic BIOSCAN\u2019s progress, results, and plans for the 2022 field season.
