Special Feature: Four Decades of Arctic Climate Change: A Tribute to Louis Fortier
Professor Louis Fortier (1953-2020) revolutionized Arctic research in Canada. Both driven by his scientific fascination for ice-covered seas and an unusually strong and natural leadership, he has launched initiatives that have since brought Canada among the leading nations in Arctic research. The retrofit of the Canadian research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen and the foundation of ArcticNet, a Network of Centres of Excellence in Canada, are among his most significant and long-lasting contributions to Arctic sciences.
