T-MOSAiC
​T-MOSAiC is an IASC pan-Arctic, land-based program that extends the activities of the IASC flagship program MOSAiC: ‘The Multidisciplinary drifting Observatory for the Study of Arctic Climate’, MOSAiC is a multinational year-round study (2019-2020) of the central Arctic Ocean to measure the coupling between atmosphere, sea ice, ocean and ecosystem processes.
 
The objective of the satellite program T-MOSAiC is to coordinate complementary activities that will both aid and benefit from MOSAiC (especially the modelling components) by extending the work to the lands surrounding the Arctic Ocean and to the northern communities who live on those lands.

Returning to the Canadian Arctic this Summer
An article entitled "New ways forward in Canadian Arctic Research" was published in the "The Globe and Mail Canada" journal on January 12. Warwick Vincent (T-MOSAiC co-chair) and other authors are encouraging discussion about returning to research in the North later this year, when it is expected that the pandemic will be more under control. The article can be accessed here.
