... Project was to acquire the necessary data in order to document an extension of the continental shelf beyond 200 nautical miles in accordance with article 76 of the UN Convention of the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). During the cruise bathymetric ...
... the S/Y Eltanin from Longyearbyen to southern Nordenskiöld Land, where the fieldwork was conducted from a tent encampment. The so-called Torellian Unconformity was studied for two weeks. The unconformity is a boundary between rock types ...
... epidemic diseases in seals, and benthic communities. The Swedes on the Palmer team studied the role of bacteria in the carbon cycle, crab predators invading warming Antarctic waters, as well as iodine, iron, and other tracers and their roles ...
... is to explore rock sections for new mammal fossils. The record of Antarctic mammals is very sparse and new taxa can be expected. Seymour Island is the only ice-free area on the whole continent that exposes Palaeogene strata, allowing a ...
... of aerosol processes and waves in the middle atmosphere, and to compare tropospheric aerosols over Antarctica with those over the Arctic. The research could also improve our knowledge of meteorological disturbances in Dronning ...
Using hot water drills, two-kilometre-deep holes were bored in the clear ice to house light detectors for capturing the weak light emitted when neutrinos collide with atoms. The construction of this gigantic structure, in one of ...
It was the third season in a row icebreaker Oden worked in Antarctica. The basis of the cooperative effort was that NSF chartered Oden from the Swedish Maritime Administration and the ...
... of ocean nutrients, and to the earth’s climate. Principal investigator Victoria Pease Department of Geological Sciences, Stockholm University Former Eurasian Ice Sheets Margins and Mega-Fauna Extinction during the Last Glacial ...
... human adaptation and migration. Even though the interior of the Greenland Ice Sheet contains the largest mass, it is local climatic and topographical conditions that control the discharge of ice – and therefore the intensity of response to ...
LASHIPA 9 was a part of the data collection for the historical-archaeological research project LASHIPA (Large Scale Historical Exploitation of Polar Areas). The objective of the ...
... northernmost large terrain in Svalbard, changes taking effect here will most likely propagate southwards, both as physical processes and as economic and political consequences for our societies, making this an issue that needs to be taken ...
... fields of animal ecology and marine geology. Cyclops, arrow worms, and krill was studied in a project entitled ”Carnivorous Zooplankton – Their Role in Arctic Food Webs”. This research will contribute to an understanding of the ...
This makes the Arctic ice caps and ice fields to sensitive regions as potential providers of water to increasing sea levels. This project’s aim ...
... region. Over the winter, Oden started out doing icebreaking work to enable travel by boat to and from the American station. Afterwards, on the voyage back to South America, the icebreaker served as a research platform. This season ...
... Station was built at Vestfjella in Dronning Maud Land during the 1988/89 Antarctic Expedition. The station is located at 73°03’S, 13°25’W at the Basen nunatak. Nearby is the Finnish Aboa Research Station that, together with ...
Most studies point to the extensive use of antibiotics in recent decades as the main force driving the development of such resistance. The problem is also being exacerbated by the spread of ...
... will be complemented with traditional lab based in vivo and in vitro studies in combination with immunohistological methods for localization and quantification of different putative substances involved in the regulation of the ...
... relationships of the major animal phyla that appeared in the fossil record more that 540 million years ago, during the Cambrian Explosion. Although new molecular data have been very useful, we still have little understanding about the ...
Moving MARA to different locations makes it possible to study how air is transported and mixed between different heights in the atmosphere under ...
