聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽Following the pilipili漫画ful TReX Deep 1 Mission, TReX Deep 2 commenced onboard the Coriolis II out of Rimouski in search of the CF3SF5 tracer that was injected inside the Cabot Strait in October of 2021. This was the first 鈥渢racer hunting mission鈥� for the , which utilized a customized tracer lab (converted from a lab container from the ) to carry out the mission. An excellent synergy between both MEOPAR programs displayed on the collaborative execution of a large-scale tracer release project with the use of the modular oceanographic infrastructure, showing the possibility of MORI鈥檚 accessible innovation to help specializing a vessel for any scientific project. The mission has three major goals: (1) Locate, measure, and map the CF3SF5 tracer in the deep-water of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, (2) To collect samples for biogeochemical parameters within the three major channels, and (3) To investigate the phytoplankton and microbial communities of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.聽

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽Once again, this TReX mission was conducted by a scientific team mostly comprised of students from partner institutions! Dr. Douglas Wallace continued his role as Chief Scientist, leading the mission with flawless (and fluid) cruise trajectory planning. Others from the CERC.OCEAN group at pilipili漫画 that joined the mission were William Nesbitt, Chukwuka Orji, Adriana Reitano, Sara Wong, and Caroline Fradette. Colleagues from partner institutions were Olivier Herard (ISMER-UQAR), Sam Stevenes (UBC) and Lennart Gerke (GEOMAR). NRC scientists Caroline Chenard and Joerg Behnke participated in this mission, leading a research study on the phytoplankton and microbial community. 聽

聽聽聽聽聽聽聽聽As in the TReX Deep 1 Mission, the Gulf of St. Lawrence was extensively sampled for a variety of biogeochemical parameters. Perhaps, most impressively, the tracer team measured samples for the SF5 tracer (along with other tracers of opportunity such as CFC-12 and SF6) at 113 stations over the course of 11 days at sea. This leads to a total of over 600 measurements! During the cruise, Sam Stevens refined and mapped the data to provide a trail for the team to follow throughout the Gulf of St. Lawrence. 聽
