Report for methane monitoring in Arctic Lakes in Northwest Territories, Canada, March 2016
The primary goal of fieldwork in spring 2016 was the deployment of OsmoSampler units in two of the project study lakes near Inuvik (region 3 in Figure 1, specifically Lakes 129 and 520), to capture the ice-out period in higher temporal resolution. A secondary goal was the collection of under-ice wat...

The primary goal of fieldwork in spring 2016 was the deployment of OsmoSampler units in two of the project study lakes near Inuvik (region 3 in Figure 1, specifically Lakes 129 and 520), to capture the ice-out period in higher temporal resolution. A secondary goal was the collection of under-ice water samples for calibrating the OsmoSampler methane, ion, and microbiology data. The goal of the annual OsmoSampler deployments from August 2015 is to capture of a continuous annual record of lake biogeochemistry, including under ice cover, to determine the source, cycling, and fate of methane in these Canadian Arctic lakes. To this end, each OsmoSampler system contains three different samplers, as well as a suite of sensors. The three samplers are for methane ("CH4"), major/minor/trace elements ("Acid"), and microbial community composition ("BOSS"). The sensor suite includes one sensor for dissolved oxygen and temperature, one sensor for pressure, and one sensor for light penetration. The purpose of the higher resolution OsmoSamplers for deployment during this fieldwork is to collect a second record of methane and dynamics during the critical ice-out period, with a higher sampling resolution to permit ~daily intervals.These OsmoSamplers also contain CH4 and Acid samplers, with pumps that pull water into the samplers at a faster speed (i.e. 20-membrane OsmoPumps instead of 8-10 membrane pumps in the annual deployments).
