... Land is ice-free today, but is partly covered by glacial deposits containing rocks of a western provenance, which indicate that the Greenland Ice Sheet has earlier advanced across the peninsula. The fieldwork of 2006, following up on work ...
... covered by a continuous blanket of Quaternary sediment, and reconnaissance fieldwork in the snow-melt season has indicated that it contains a record of glacial and marine events and sea level change going back more than 40,000 years (Funder ...
This work also has important implications for global economic resources since significant proven and potential reservoir rocks also occur in Arctic shelf ...
It was multidisciplinary, with the emphasis on disciplines as historical archaeology and industrial archaeology. The aim of the project is to explain the development of industry in the polar ...
Most expeditions collected fossils and other geological materials. A lot of the fossils ended up in collections at the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm. ...
... processes and their interactions with clouds and climate. This was done through long-term measurements at three locations (the Zeppelin station in Svalbard, Aspvreten in Sweden, and Pico Espejo in Venezuela), and by detailed spatial ...
The drilling at Kohnen Station reached the bedrock in the season 2005/06 after four seasons of drilling. The final depth was recorded as 2 774 m. Principal investigator Margareta Hansson Stockholm University
The feasibility of using transparent ice at large depth in Antarctica for neutrino telescopes was shown by the AMANDA collaboration in the 1990’s. The scientific goals for these telescopes ...
The expedition was a cooperative venture between Lund University and Stockholm University in Sweden and the CADIC-CONICET institute in Ushuaia, Argentina. Principal investigator Svante Björck Lund University
... questions studied included: How does the presence of herbivores and insects relate to the variation and geographical distribution of their fodder plants? And how do the life situations of herbivores affect conditions for the plants? How ...
The questions studied included: To what extent does the natural biogeochemical cycle in the Arctic Ocean affect the global and local climate? Quantifiable climate changes arise for reasons including ...
In addition to the research, technical and logistical work was performed at Wasa and Svea. In addition to conventional maintenance, tracked vehicles and ...
The questions studied included: What tectonic and geographical factors were involved when the Arctic Ocean was formed? The Arctic Ocean is the least understood of the world’s oceans, ...
... was constructed between 1995 and 2000 deep down in the ice sheet at the Amundsen-Scott base at the South Pole, Antarctica. The scientific goals are, among others, to use the neutrino particles to investigate the question of the “dark matter” ...

For the last couple of decades, SWEDARCTIC bedrock expeditions have been analyzing the Palaeozoic and Precambrian evolution of High Arctic Eurasia, ...
The research during DML 2003/04 was mainly focused on glaciology, atmosphere physics, ecology and chemical meteorology. The research in Dronning Maud Land was carried out during two periods; November–December 2003 and ...
Ice cores provide unique information of past environmental and climatic variations. During the 2002/03 season the drilling at Dome C reached down to a depth of 3 200 meters. The preliminary dating showed that the ice is about 800,000 years old at...
