Data Identification

Abstract: A network of five (5) time-lapse cameras was deployed on the Deception Bay (Nunavik, Canada) shores in September 2015. These cameras take hourly pictures in the daytime, and their combined fields of view cover the entire bay. The pictures are in JPEG format. Different brands of cameras are being tested : Reconyx, Browning, Panasonic and Spypoint. The Panasonic camera pictures are available in real-time since this camera is connected to Raglan Mine’s infrastructure in Deception Bay. The pictures are now available for download online.
Purpose: The ice monitoring project aims to improve understanding of the interactions between the landfast sea ice cover, climate change, winter navigation, safe access to the territory for Inuit communities and protection of the bays’ ecosystems along the Hudson Strait. It is part of the Safe Passage project, funded by Polar Knowledge Canada. The first phase of the project spans three winters (2015-2018), with Deception Bay (Baie Déception) as the main study site. Two additional sites, Kangiqsujuaq (Baie Wakeham) and Salluit (Fjord de Salluit), are also monitored for comparison and community involvement for some of the data collected. The initial work was funded by Raglan Mine, a Glencore Company, with Polar Knowledge Canada now contributing to continue the work and integrate the study within a pan-arctic effort. The project is a collaboration with Kativik Regional Government (KRG) and Ministère des transports, de la mobilité durable et de l’électrification des transports du Québec (MTMDET). A second phase (2018-2020) has been approved by Raglan Mine, a Glencore Company, and Kativik Regional Government for two additional winter seasons. (Please see the metadata related to this project for information about the other data collected.)
