UPDATE: Kugluktuk Message in a Bottle Was Dropped in Arctic Ocean. It turns out the message in a bottle that Kugluktuk resident David Peter Norberg found on Aug. 11 was dropped into the Arctic Ocean by crew aboard the icebreaker Louis St. Laurent. The bottle was released only 100 km from Kugluktuk, just southeast of Lady Franklin Point in October 2010, according to Humphrey Melling, a research scientist with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), which oversees the Drift Bottle Project.

 The Official Opening of the Canadian High Arctic Research Station (CHARS) Campus in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, Opens a New Chapter in Canada's Polar Research Leadership. New knowledge of the Arctic is vital to addressing the unique challenges of climate change in Canada's North and strengthening the resilience of northern communities. Science and Indigenous knowledge working together is key to developing the evidence-based policy that will help enable Northerners and all Canadians adapt to today's conditions and plan for the future. Today, residents of the Arctic community of Cambridge Bay; Yvonne Jones, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Intergovernmental and Northern Affairs and Internal Trade, on behalf of the Honourable Carolyn Bennett, Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations; the Honourable Jeannie Ehaloak, member of the Executive Council of Nunavut and Member of the Legislative Assembly for Cambridge Bay; Her Worship, Pamela Gross, Mayor of Cambridge Bay; and David J. Scott, President and Chief Executive Officer for Polar Knowledge Canada, together marked the official opening of the Canadian High Arctic Research Station (CHARS) campus.

Eyes on an Extreme Ice Smasher Headed for the Arctic. This storm is about two months early for the Arctic. Later this week a rare system will make its way into the Arctic Ocean. This system's pressure center is expected to dip to an unusually low value for the month of August. Just how low? When you look at other climatology tools, the outlier even becomes more apparent, hinting at the extreme anomaly.

 NASA Airborne Study Takes Aim at Nunavut's Changing Tundra. Where can you get the best view of climate change impacting the Arctic landscape? If you ask researchers with NASA, the answer may be way up in the air. That's the approach being taken with the Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment, which saw a King Air B-200 turboprop aircraft loaded with special sensors criss-crossing the skies above Cambridge Bay for several days in early August. That work is just a small part of a 10-year campaign that encompasses more than 100 projects being conducted by over 700 researchers.
