We took part in the Amundsen's mobilization in Quebec City to prepare our equipment for the five legs of the 2026 summer campaign.

Florian was able to participate in the Higher Education and Research Software Development Days in Montpellier!

Juliette, Carole-Anne, and Sébastien traveled to Lorient to take part in the mobilization of the Tara Polar Station, which will set sail from Lorient next July for Polaris I.

Ariane, Carole-Anne, and Sébastien went to retrieve the mooring in Qikiqtarjuaq that had been installed last February.

Students from the laboratory participated in and led the MISSION ISSEO project, in collaboration with other doctoral students in oceanography. This mission took place aboard a modified recreational sailboat, covering a dozen stations around Baie Comeau and as far as the south shore !
