...and the big dog. Longest / biggest, although lower operational risk (slightly) than the stretch north option.
Bearing in mind that it was also proposing putting an instrumented aircraft pretty close to an international marine boundary, so the political landscape forms part of planning.

That time I asked for aerial imagery supporting an Arctic expedition, timed to coincide with field sampling / drone flights / already planned satellite overpasses. This is one map (of 3), one possible flight path - the "small scenario".
While it had a solid science rationale supported by existing publications - and attracted a lot of big names to the table - the support request was denied.

The place that never freezes: the Arctic habitat where global heating threatens more ice, not less
By Words and pictures by Jimmy Thomson in Nunavut, CanadaThe race to study the North Water between Canada and Greenland before it changes has led to a bold plan for an Inuit-run protected area

“Winter roads are essential transportation links for many remote northern communities, but their safety and reliability depend strongly on snow conditions and ice growth. In this study [link above], [the authors] evaluated a fully polarimetric, dual-frequency Ku- and Ka-band radar approach for retrieving snow depth across landfast sea ice, lake ice, and tundra.
Using field measurements near Churchill, Manitoba, and Resolute Bay, Nunavut [Canada], [they] found that the approach produced snow-depth retrieval bias and error within 3 cm over landfast ice, with encouraging Ku-band performance over frozen ground as well. [They] also developed an interface-detection approach for lake ice that can retrieve both snow depth and ice thickness - a promising direction for characterizing conditions relevant to winter-road planning and safety…”

“Winter roads are lifelines for remote northern communities. Built over land, lakes, rivers, and sea ice, these travel routes are increasingly vulnerable to warming temperatures and variable precipitation. To ensure safety and adapt to these changes, operators require high-resolution monitoring of snow depth across these diverse surfaces, as natural snow accumulation dictates ice growth rates, route viability and road stability. This study extends our polarimetric radar method, previously demonstrated on pack ice, to landfast sea ice, tundra, and frozen lakes and assesses how well we can retrieve snow depth over these surfaces. Results indicate consistency with earlier sea ice analyses, maintaining a mean snow depth retrieval bias and error within 3 cm over the landfast ice. Promising performance is also found over frozen ground using Ku-band (mean biases less than 6 cm). To address the specific challenge of lake ice, which includes strong returns from the ice/water interface, we present a new interface-detection technique that simultaneously retrieves snow depth and ice thickness. While current validation focuses on undisturbed snow, this approach could provide a path forward for characterizing the cryospheric environment in a way that can directly support the optimization of winter roads…”

"The West Antarctic Ice Sheet is the continent's largest contributor to rising seas and contains enough ice to increase the global mean sea level by over 17 feet, the study explains" https://www.commondreams.org/news/west-antarctic-ice-sheet Anyone got a map of how Dublin would look with a 5 metre sea rise? #Antarctic #SeaIce #SeaRise #Dublin
