At University of New-Brunswick, we are locally engaged and nationally relevant. We are leaders in research, innovation and entrepreneurship. We do more than respond to jobs needed today. We create the industries and opportunities of the New Brunswick of tomorrow. We aspire to be a university of influence through excellence and innovation in research and teaching to enable positive social change across our communities.

Our mission is to inspire and educate our people to become problem solvers and leaders in the world, undertake research that addresses societal and scientific challenges, and engage with our partners to build a more just, sustainable and inclusive world.

Piluwitahasuwawsuwakon. A Wolastoqey word gifted to UNB by Opolahsomuwehs (Elder Imelda Perley) which means “allowing your thinking to change so that action will follow in a good way toward truth,” and considering and sharing other world views, histories and practices. This commitment lies behind all that we do as a university. In all that we do, we commit to walking this path together, as we are all treaty people.

Time-Series Biogenic Matter Export Fluxes Offshore Pointe-des-Monts and Baie-Comeau

10.26071/ogsl-9b07076f-e47b

This dataset includes measured fluxes of phytoplankton cells, total particulate matter, chloropigments, particulate organic carbon, and particulate nitrogen, as well as carbon and nitrogen isotopic signatures on samples from moored sediment traps deployed offshore Pointe-des-Monts and Baie-Comeau. The sediment trap cups were programmed to rotate approximately every two weeks from November 2020 to September 2021. Offshore Pointe-des-Monts, sinking particles were collected at depths of 154 and 224 m while offshore Baie-Comeau, sinking particles were collected at a depth of 133 m. The objective of this work is to understand the influence of an active submarine canyon system on biogenic matter export fluxes. This project was funded by Réseau Québec Maritime (RQM) and Marine Environmental Observation, Prediction, and Response Network (MEOPAR).
