The second edition of Sentinel North international Ph.D. school is underway in Nunavut, in the Canadian Arctic. From July 12 to 24, 2018, nineteen young scientists, twelve research professionals and technicians as well as ten internationally renowned professors from 12 universities in 8 countries will explore the Baffin sea and Baffin Island fjords on board the CCGS Amundsen. Their goal is to better understand the role of light in ecosystem services and health in the North. The program also includes meeting and exchanging with members of northern communities of Iqaluit and Qikiqtarjuaq.

The second edition of the Sentinel North International Ph.D School sets its course towards Baffin Bay in Nunavut, Canada. The team of 19 students and 22 mentors from 12 different universities have boarded the CCGS Amundsen Canadian research icebreaker as part of a unique experience aimed at studying the role of light in driving arctic marine food webs, ecosystems services, and human health in the North.

Project BriGHT will be on board the CCGS Amundsen from July 5 to 13, 2018 to collect samples of water and country food along the coast of Nunavik. The team will also take this opportunity to visit Inuit communities to discuss their preoccupations concerning climate and changes in country food availability and quality.
