Resolute Bay PCSP Facility

Daniel Fortier, CEN Researcher, and Michel Paquette, CEN MSc student, are mentioned in this article featuring the Resolute Bay facility run by the Canada’s Polar Continental Shelf Project (PCSP). The facility offers logistic support with 75 aircrafts for researchers working from the Alaskan border to the Arctic Circle. Recently updated, the facility offers lodging (with a cafeteria), laboratory space and storage space for scientific material. Fortier and Paquette were working on Ward Hunt Island last year, at the tip of Northern Ellesmere Island and used the facility as a base.
